New Possibility of Solving the Problem of the Lifetime Ratio τ(Λb ) / τ(Bd)
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We discuss the problem of the large discrepancy between the observed lifetime ratio of $\Lambda_b$ to $B_d$ and the theoretical prediction obtained by the heavy quark effective theory. A new possibility of solving this problem is proposed from the viewpoint of operator product expansion and the lifetime ratio of $\Omega_b$ to $B_d$ is predicted.
