Nonleptonic two-body weak decays of $Λ_b$ in modified MIT bag model

Abstract: We study the nonleptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_b$ by modifying the MIT bag model without introducing new parameters to construct the momentum eigenstates of the baryons. We find that the branching ratios of $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ \pi^-$, $\Lambda_c^+ K^-$, $p \pi^-$ and $pK^-$ are $(4.5\pm0.2)\times 10^{-3}$, $(3.4\pm 0.1)\times 10^{-4}$, $(5.0\pm 0.5)\times 10^{-6}$ and $(6.0\pm 0.7) \times 10^{-6}$, which are all well consistent with the current experimental data, respectively. We also explore P and CP asymmetries for the decays of $\Lambda_b^0 \to p (\pi^-,K^-)$. In particular, we obtain that the direct CP-violating rate asymmetries in $\Lambda_b^0 \to p \pi^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0 \to p K^-$ are around $-4.4\%$ and $6.7\%$, in comparison with $(-2.5\pm2.9)\%$ and $(-2.5\pm2.2)\%$ from the Particle Data Group in 2020, respectively.
