Angular distribution and asymmetries in the decay of the polarized charmed baryon Λc+ → K−Δ++ → K−pπ+

Abstract

Angular distribution of the final particles in the decay [Formula: see text] of the polarized charmed baryon is discussed. Asymmetries are proposed that allow for determination of the components of the [Formula: see text] polarization vector. The precession angle of the polarization in the process of baryon channeling in a bent crystal is directly related to these asymmetries. The decay rate and asymmetry parameter for the [Formula: see text] decay are calculated in the pole model and compared with experiment.
