Measurement of Λb0 , Λc+ , and Λ decay parameters using Λb0→Λc+h− decays

A comprehensive study of the angular distributions in the bottom-baryon decays Λ0 b → Λ c+h−(h = π, K), followed by Λþ c → Λhþ with Λ → pπ− or Λþ c → pK0 S decays, is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The decay parameters and the associated charge-parity (CP) asymmetries are measured, with no significant CP violation observed. For the first time, the Λ0 b → Λþ c h− decay parameters are measured. The most precise measurements of the decay parameters α, β, and γ are obtained for Λþ c decays and an independent measurement of the decay parameters for the strange-baryon Λ decay is provided. The results deepen our understanding of weak decay dynamics in baryon decays
