Strong and radiative decays of heavy flavored baryons - art. no. 094002

We analyze strong one-pion and radiative one-photon decays of heavy flavore d baryons within a relativistic three-quark model. Employing the same param eters as were used for the description of the semileptonic decays of heavy baryons, we calculate the couplings of one-pion and one-photon transitions of both ground and excited heavy baryon states. We predict the decay rates for all relevant decay modes and compare them with experimental data when a vailable and with the results of other model calculations. [S0556-2821(99)0 4417-3].
