$Ω_b$ semi-leptonic weak decays

Abstract

$Ω_b \rightarrow Ω_c^{(*)}$ semi-leptonic decays are studied in details. Relevant helicity amplitudes are written down. Both unpolarized and polarized $Ω_b$ cases are considered. Decay angular distributions, asymmetry parameters and semileptonic decay rates are calculated, with numerical results using leading order results of the large $N_c$ and heavy quark effective theory(HQET).
