Studying Radiative Baryon Decays with the SU(3) Flavor Symmetry

The weak and electromagnetic radiative baryon decays of octet $T_{8}$, decuplet $T_{10}$, single charmed anti-triplet $T_{c3}$ and sextet $T_{c6}$, single heavy bottomed anti-triplet $T_{b3}$ and sextet $T_{b6}$ are investigated by using SU(3) flavor symmetry irreducible representation approach. We analyze the contributions from a single quark transition $q_1to q_2gamma$ and $W$ exchange transitions, and find that the amplitudes could be easily related by SU(3) flavor symmetry in the $T_{b3,b6}$ weak radiative decays, $T_{c3,c6}$ weak radiative decays, $T_{10}to T_{8}gamma $ weak decays, $T_{10}to T_{10}gamma $ weak decays and $T_{10}to T_{8}gamma $ electromagnetic decays. Nevertheless, the amplitude relations are a little complex in the $T_{8}to T_{8}gamma$ and $T_{8}to T_{10}gamma$ weak decays due to quark antisymmetry in $T_{8}$ and $W$ exchange contributions. Predictions for branching ratios of $Lambda^{0}_bto ngamma$, $Xi^{-}_bto Xi^-gamma$, $Xi^{-}_bto Sigma^-gamma$, $Xi^{0}_bto Sigma^0gamma$, $Xi^{0}_bto Lambda^0gamma$, $Xi^{0}_bto Xi^0gamma$, $Xi^{*}to Xigamma$, $Sigma^{*0}to Sigma^{0}gamma$, $Delta^0to ngamma$ and $Delta^+to pgamma$ are given. The results in this work can be used to test SU(3) flavor symmetry approach in the radiative baryon decays by the future experiments at BESIII, LHCb and Belle-II.
