Title: 1/mc Terms in lambda+c Semileptonic Decays

Journal Article · · Physics Letters B

We use the heavy quark effective theory to investigate the form factors that describe the semileptonic decays lambda+c -> lambda e+ nu, to order 1/mc. We find that a total of four form factors are needed to this order, in contrast with two form factors to leading order, and six form factors in the most general case. We point out some relationships that arise among the general form factors.
