Semileptonic decays of the light J(P)=1/2(+) ground state baryon octet

Understand

We calculate the semileptonic baryon octet-octet transition form factors using a manifestly Lorentz covariant quark model approach based on the factorization of the contribution of valence quarks and chiral effects.

• We perform a detailed analysis of SU(3) breaking corrections to the hyperon semileptonic decay form factors.
• We present complete results on decay rates and asymmetry parameters including lepton mass effects for the rates.
