Further Study on the Doubly Heavy Baryon Production around the $Z^0$ Peak at A High Luminosity $e^+ e^-$ Collider

TL;DR

This paper studies the production of doubly heavy baryons at high-luminosity $e^+ e^-$ colliders around the $Z^0$ peak, providing detailed cross sections and distributions within the nonrelativistic QCD framework.

Contribution

It extends previous work by analyzing transverse momentum and rapidity distributions of doubly heavy baryons at $Z^0$ resonance in high-luminosity colliders.

Findings

Significant production of $\\Xi_{cc}$, $\\Xi_{bc}$, and $\\Xi_{bb}$ baryons at $Z^0$ peak.

Distributions show clear properties under typical experimental cuts.

Resonance effect enhances baryon yields compared to previous experiments.

Abstract

The doubly heavy baryon $\Xi_{QQ^{\prime}}$ ($Q^{(\prime)}$ = $b$ or $c$) is different from the ordinary baryons. The production of the doubly heavy baryon can provide valuable insight on how the colored $(QQ^{\prime})$-diquark can be transformed into the color-singlet baryon. As a sequential work of Ref.[2], we make a further study on the doubly heavy baryon production through the $e^+ e^-$ annihilation channel, $e^{+} + e^{-}\rightarrow\gamma/Z^0 \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{\prime}} +\bar{Q} +\bar{Q^{\prime}}$, within the nonrelativistic QCD framework. In addition to the total cross sections, we present the baryon transverse momentum and the rapidity distributions for all these channels. Typical baryon transverse momentum and rapidity cuts are adopted to show the properties of these distributions clearly. At a $e^+ e^-$ collider that runs around the $Z^0$-boson mass with a high luminosity up to ${\cal L} = 10^{34-36}{\rm cm}^{-2} {\rm s}^{-1}$, in comparison to the Belle and BABAR experiments, it is found that sizable $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bc}$ and $\Xi_{bb}$ events can be produced even after performing baryon's transverse momentum and rapidity cuts due to $Z^0$-boson resonance effect.
