Abstract

We analyze weak decays of triply heavy baryon Ωccc++\Omega_{ccc}^{++} and calculate the form factors for Ωccc++Ξcc++/Ωcc+\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to \Xi_{cc}^{++}/\Omega_{cc}^+ transitions in a light front quark model. The momentum distributions in form factors are accessed via the pole-model parametrization. Using the results for form factors, we predict decay branching fractions for semi-leptonic decays, and obtain B(Ωccc++Ξcc+e+νe)=0.08%\mathcal{B}(\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to\Xi_{cc}^+e^+\nu_e)=0.08\%, B(Ωccc++Ωcc+e+νe)=1.23%\mathcal{B}(\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to\Omega_{cc}^+e^+\nu_e)=1.23\%. Forward-backward asymmetry and angular distributions are then investigated in this work. We also estimate branching fractions for a few color-allowed processes and find that the Ωccc++Ωcc+π+\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to\Omega_{cc}^+\pi^+ has a sizable branching fraction: B(Ωccc++Ωcc+π+)=1.82%\mathcal{B}(\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to\Omega_{cc}^+\pi^+)=1.82\%. We point out that the Ωccc++Ωcc+π+\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to\Omega_{cc}^+\pi^+ is a golden channel for the discovery of the Ωccc++\Omega_{ccc}^{++}. This analysis can provide a useful reference for future experimental search in future.
