NP effects in Λb → Λc(*) semileptonic decays

In the context of lepton flavor universality violation (LFUV) studies, we study different observables related to the b → cτν¯τ semileptonic decays. These observables are expected to help in distinguishing between different New Physics (NP) scenarios. Since the τ lepton is very short-lived, we consider three subsequent τ-decay modes, two hadronic πντ and ρντ and one leptonic µν¯µντ. This approach enables the differential decay width to be written in terms of visible (experimentally accessible) variables of the massive particle created in the τ decay. We present numerical results for the observables that can be accessed through the visible kinematics for the Λb → Λc and the Λb → Λ˚c p2595q transitions. This work is based on Refs.[1–3].
