Abstract

We investigate the rare electroweak penguin transition bs+b \to s \ell^+ \ell^- though angular analyses in baryonic bb-decays. Instead of performing likelihood fits, that might suffer from ambiguity issues, we employ the moments technique, which is a simple counting experiment. The method is known to be robust under low statistics conditions and avoids the ambiguity problem by construction. We provide the full set of 32 orthonormal moments for Λb0ph+\Lambda^0_b\to p h^-\ell^+\ell^-, where h{π,K}h\in\{\pi,K\}, for a polarized Λb0\Lambda^0_b and the dihadron system [ph][ph] being in a spin-1/2 state.
