Strong coupling constants of light pseudoscalar mesons with heavy baryons in QCD

Abstract

We calculate the strong coupling constants of light pseudoscalar mesons with heavy baryons within the light cone QCD sum rules method. It is shown that sextet--sextet, sextet--antitriplet and antitriplet--antitriplet transitions are described by one universal invariant function for each class. A comparison of our results on the coupling constants with the predictions existing in literature is also presented.
