Radiative Decays of Decuplet to Octet Baryons in Light Cone QCD

Abstract

The radiative decays of decuplet to octet baryons are analyzed within the light cone QCD sum rules framework.The electromagnetic transition form factors for these decays are calculated up to twist four accuracy for photon wave functions as well as including first order strange quark mass corrections. A comparison of our results with predictions of lattice theory and existing experimental data is presented.
