Abstract

The baryonic bsb\to s transition ΛbΛ()ννˉ\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{(*)}\nu{\bar\nu} is analyzed. We combine the mesonic counterpart B+K+ννˉB^+\to K^+\nu{\bar\nu} and B0K0ννˉB^0\to K^{*0}\nu{\bar\nu} as well as other observables involving BB mesons like R(K())R(K^{(*)}), Br(Bsμ+μ){\rm Br}(B_s\to\mu^+\mu^-), Br(B+K+μ+μ){\rm Br}(B^+\to K^+\mu^+\mu^-), and P5(B+K+μ+μ)P_5'(B^+\to K^{*+}\mu^+\mu^-). Using the constraints from mesonic sector, we present predictions for the currently unobserved baryonic decay modes, which is very complementary to mesonic modes for probing new physics. We find that the new physics scale MNPM_{\rm NP} to be 2.04 TeVMNP11.76 TeV2.04~{\rm TeV}\le M_{\rm NP} \le 11.76~{\rm TeV} (at 1σ1\sigma) for ordinary heavy new mediators. Our predictions for the branching ratios Br(ΛbΛ()ννˉ){\rm Br}(\Lambda_b\to\Lambda^{(*)}\nu{\bar\nu}) are 2.07(1.07)2.07 (1.07) times the standard model estimations, which could be verified at future colliders. We also find a sum rule for Br(ΛbΛννˉ){\rm Br}(\Lambda_b\to\Lambda \nu{\bar\nu}) and Br(BK()ννˉ){\rm Br}(B\to K^{(*)}\nu{\bar\nu}) that is very similar to that for bcb\to c semi-leptonic decays.
