Weak decays of doubly heavy baryons: decays to system of $\pi$ mesons

Abstract

In the presented article we consider exclusive weak decays of doubly heavy baryons with spin $J=1/2$ with production of leptonic pair or a set of light mesons. Using QCD factorization theorem and spectral functions approach we obtain theoretical predictions for the partial probabilities of these decays and distributions over various kinematic variables. According to the obtaining results partial probabilities of some of researched decays are large enough to be observed experimentally.
