Abstract

We explore the two-body non-leptonic weak decays of Ωc0\Omega_c^0 into final states B()M{\bf B}^{(*)}M and B()V{\bf B}^{(*)}V, where B(){\bf B}^{(*)} denotes an octet (a decuplet) baryon and M(V)M(V) represents a pseudoscalar (vector) meson. We employ the topological SU(3)fSU(3)_f approach to depict and parameterize the WW-emission and WW-exchange processes. We find that the topological parameters can be associated and combined, making them extractable for calculation. Consequently, we explain the partially measured branching fractions relative to B(Ωc0Ωπ+){\cal B}(\Omega_c^0\to \Omega^-\pi^+), recombined or kept as the following ratios: B(Ωc0Ξ0Kˉ0)/B(Ωc0Ωρ+)=0.28±0.11{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0\to\Xi^{*0}\bar K^{*0})/{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0\to\Omega^-\rho^+)=0.28\pm 0.11, B(Ωc0Ξπ+)/B(Ωc0Ξ0Kˉ0)=0.10±0.02{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0\to\Xi^-\pi^+)/{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0\to\Xi^{0}\bar K^{0})=0.10\pm 0.02, and B(Ωc0ΩK+)/B(Ωc0Ωπ+)=0.06±0.01{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0 \to \Omega^- K^+)/{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0 \to \Omega^- \pi^+)=0.06\pm 0.01. In particular, we present B(Ωc0Ξ0π0)=(2.3±0.2)×104{\cal B}(\Omega_c^0 \to \Xi^0 \pi^0)=(2.3\pm0.2)\times 10^{-4} as half the value of B(Ωc0Ξπ+){\cal B}(\Omega_c^0 \to \Xi^- \pi^+) in the approximate isospin relation, and highlight potential candidates for testing SU(3)fSU(3)_f symmetry breaking.
