Probing hyperon CP violation from charmed baryon decays

Abstract: CP violation (CPV) in the baryon sectors has not yet been established experimentally. In this work, we propose to search for the hyperon CPV through the Cabibbo-favored charm-baryon decaying processes involving a hyperon in the final states, such as $\Lambda_c^+\to \Lambda^0\pi^+, \Lambda^0\to p\pi^-$. The CPV of the hyperon decays are purely revealed in these chain processes, since the CPV in the Cabibbo-favored charm decays are vanishing in the Standard Model (SM). The hyperons are polarized in the weak charm decays, so that we can measure the Lee-Yang asymmetric parameter $\alpha$ by the angular distributions, and then can measure the $\alpha$-induced CPV. It can be found that it is accessible for Belle II and LHCb to reach the SM prediction of the hyperon CPV in the near future.
