Constructing heavy-quark sum rule for b→cb \to c meson and baryon decays

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study heavy-hadron semileptonic decays proceeding via b→cb \to c transition, such as B→D(∗)τνˉτB \to D^{(*)}τ\barν_τ and Λb→ΛcτνˉτΛ_b \to Λ_cτ\barν_τ. In the heavy-quark limit, where the heavy-quark symmetry holds, we provide a fundamental framework for heavy-quark sum rules among these decays based on the spin decomposition picture. The relation holds directly for the squared amplitudes without requiring phase-space integration. We then apply this relation to reproduce the sum rule among B→D(∗)τνˉτB \to D^{(*)}τ\barν_τ and Λb→ΛcτνˉτΛ_b \to Λ_cτ\barν_τ. Furthermore, we derive new sum rules for Ωb→Ωc(∗)Ω_b \to Ω_c^{(*)} transitions and those involving excited states, such as B→{D0∗,D1∗}B \to \{D_0^*,D_1^*\} and B→{D1,D2∗}B \to \{D_1,D_2^*\}.
