Form factors of $$\varLambda _b^0 \rightarrow \varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ b 0 → Λ c ( 2595 ) + within light-cone QCD sum rules by Hui-Hui Duan, Yong-Lu Liu, Qin Chang, Ming-Qiu Huang

“…Utilizing the light-cone QCD sum rules approach, we incorporated the contributions of the lowest two charm baryon states: the ground state $$\varLambda _c$$ Λ c with $$J^P=\frac{1}{2}^+$$ J P = 1 2 + and the excited state $$\varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ c ( 2595 ) + with $$J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$$ J P = 1 2 - in the hadronic representation of the $$\varLambda _b \rightarrow \varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ b → Λ c ( 2595 ) + transition correlation function. This approach allows us to extract the form factors of the $$\varLambda _b^0 \rightarrow \varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ b 0 → Λ c ( 2595 ) + from $$\varLambda _b^0 \rightarrow \varLambda _c^+$$ Λ b 0 → Λ c + transition. …”
