Abstract

In this work, we study the contribution of invisible light particles to ΛbΛEmiss\Lambda_b \to \Lambda E_{\mathrm{miss}}, particularly the three-body decays ΛbΛϕϕˉ\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \phi \bar\phi and ΛbΛψψˉ\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \psi \bar\psi. The differential branching ratio of ΛbΛEmiss\Lambda_b \to \Lambda E_{\mathrm{miss}} and the q2q^2-dependent longitudinal polarization asymmetry of Λ\Lambda in scenarios explaining the Belle II excess are presented. In the chiral basis, we investigate the correlations between B(BKEmiss)\mathcal{B}(B \to K E_{\mathrm{miss}}) and B(ΛbΛEmiss)\mathcal{B}(\Lambda_b \to \Lambda E_{\mathrm{miss}}), as well as between B(BKEmiss)\mathcal{B}(B \to K E_{\mathrm{miss}}) and PLΛP^{\Lambda}_{L}, in eight distinct new physics scenarios. We find that the PLΛP^{\Lambda}_{L} can be used to distinguish the chirality of the hadronic current part in the effective operators, which is similar to the cases in the two-body decays ΛbΛϕ\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \phi and ΛbΛV\Lambda_b \to \Lambda V.
