Semileptonic hyperon decays in the self-consistent SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model

Abstract

We investigate the semileptonic hyperon decays within the framework of the self-consistent SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model ($\chi$QSM). We take linear $1/N_c$ rotational as well as linear $m_s$ corrections into account and apply the symmetry conserving quantization. We present the results for the form factors $f_1(Q^2)$, $f_2(Q^2)$ and $g_1(Q^2)$ in addition to the semileptonic decay constants of hyperons. We also have calculated the radii and dipole masses of these form factors for all relevant strangeness-conserving and strangeness-changing transitions.
