Measurement of CP-violating phase in bottom baryon decays

ORAL

Abstract



We propose a new approach to measure CP violation exclusively in bottom baryon decays. For our purpose, we consider Ξ-b → Σ′0 (1385) π- and Ξ-b → Σ′- (1385) π0 decays and the subsequent strong decays of Σ'-→ Λπ- and Σ'0→ Λπ0 that leads to a common Λπ0π- final state. Under isospin symmetry, we illustrarte the implicit interference between Ξ-b → Σ′0 (→Λπ0) π- and Ξ-b → Σ′-(→Λπ- ) π0 decays due to Bose correlations among the pions. The inference of CP violation comes from a study of the correlation plots for the mode and its CP conjugate that shows marked difference. We also demonstrate a method to extract the CKM angle α purely in terms of experimental observables. A modification of our proposal using Ξ-b → Ξ′0 π0 π- is particularly promising for extracting the CKM angle γ.
