From GUT or string-inspired point ′ of view, the E model [13] is a very natural extention of the SM. In this model U(1) gauge 6 group remains after the symmetry breaking of the E group. We assume that the E group is 6 6 broken through the following way E SO(10) U(1) SU(5) U(1) U(1) 6 ψ χ ψ ′ ′→ × → × × → SU(2) U(1) U(1) , where U(1) is a linear combination of two additional U(1) gauge L × ′ × groupswithQ = Q cosθ Q sinθ,whereθ isthemixingangle.

Inthegeneralcasefermion–Z′ gy − gauge boson couplings contain two arbitrary free parameters tanθ and δ [15]. From Eq.(1), it followsthattheZ′gaugebosoncanbeleptophobicwhenQ′+ 3δY = 0fortheleptondoublet 5 SM and ec, simultaneously. In the conventional embedding, theqZ′ boson can be made leptophobic with δ = 1/3 and tanθ = 3. In the Leptophobic Z′ model, FCNC’s can arise through the − 5 mixing between SM fermionsqand exotic fermions. In principle, the mixing of the left handed 1 fermions can lead to the large Z-mediated FCNC’s. In order to forbid this large Z-mediated FCNC’s, we consider the case when mixing take place only between the right-handed fermions. So, themixingbetween right-handedordinary and exoticfermions can inducetheFCNC’s when their Z′ charges are different [16]. In the Leptophobic Z′ model, the Lagrangian for b q(q = → s,d)transitioncontainingFCNC at treelevelcan bewrittenas Z′ = g2 UZ′q¯ γµb Z′ .

Now, let us examine the new effects to the branching ratio of the Λ Λνν¯ decay and po- b larizationeffects oftheΛbaryon intheleptophobicZ′ boson. In theLepto→phobicZ′ model,there are two new parameters, namely, the effective FCNC coupling constant UZ′ and the mass for the Z′ boson. Although the mass of Z′ boson range is given 365GeV | sMb |Z′ 615GeV in the D0 experiment, we take MZ′ = 700GeV and |UsZb′| ≤ 0.29 [22], wh≤ich we ≤will use in our calculations. InFig. 1,wepresentthedependenceofthedifferentialdecay branchingratio(BR), for Λ Λνν¯ decay, as function of the momentum square,q2. We observe from this figure that b → the differential branching ratio at low q2 region is one order larger compared to that of the SM prediction. In Fig.2, we showour prediction forthe branching ratio as a function of theeffective coupling constant U in the Leptophobic Z′ Model. We see from this figure with increasing sb | | U , BR also increases. We see that difference between two models is clear when U 0.4. sb sb | | | | ≥ In Fig.3, the dependence of the longitudinal polarization P for Λ Λνν¯ decay is presented. L b → Forcompleteness,inthisfigurewealsopresentthepredictionofSMforP . Fromthisfigurewe L see that the magnitude and sign of P are different in these models. Therefore a measurement L ofthemagnitudeand signofP can providevaluableinformationaboutthenew physicseffects. L With increasing q2 the difference between two models decreases. At least up to q2 = 10GeV2 thereis noticeabledifference between thesemodelsand thiscan serveas agood testfordiscrim- inationof thesetheories. ThetransversecomponentP oftheΛ polarizationis a T-oddquantity. T A nonzero value of P could indicate CP violation. In the SM, there is no CP violating phase in T the CKM element of V V∗ and since parametrization of the form factors are real, they can not tb ts induce P in the Λ Λνν¯ decay. Therefore if transverse Λ polarization is measured in the T b → experiments to be nonzero, it is an indication of the existence of new CP violating source and new types of interactions. The parameter UZ′ in leptophobic Z′ model, in principle, can have sb imaginarypart and therefore it can induce CP violation. But in theconsidered model,there is no interference terms between SM and leptophobic Z′ model contributions and terms proportional to UZ′ involves to the branching ratio and polarization effects in the form UZ′ 2. Therefore it sb | sb | cannot induce CP violation. Depicted in Fig.4 is the dependence of the normal polarization P N for Λ Λνν¯ decay. The difference between the two models in prediction of P becomes b N → considerable at q2 10GeV2. Therefore analysis of P in this region can be informative for N ≥ discriminatingthesemodels. 7 When Λ isnotpolarized, summingovertheΛ spininEq.(11), weget dΓ0 dΓ = 1+α eˆ ξˆ , (24) 2 Λb L · Λb! where α = I1. So, the polarization of Λ is P α . In Fig.5 we present the dependence Λb I0 b Λb ≡ Λb of polarization of Λ baryon α on q2. We see that up to q2 = 13GeV2 the sign of α in b Λb Λb leptophobic model is positive and negative in SM. When q2 > 13GeV2 situation becomes vice versa. For this reason measurement of the sign and magnitude of α at different q2 can provide Λ b us essential information about existence of new physics. For unpolarized Λ ; i.e. ξˆ = 0, we b Λb have P~ = α eˆ , (25) Λ Λ L withα = I2 whichleadstotheresultthattheΛpolarizationispurelylongitudinal,i.e. P = α Λ Λ Λ I0 and P = P = 0. N T In conclusion, we have studied the Semileptonic Λ Λνν¯ decay in the Leptophobic Z′ b → Model. Wehaveanalysedthelongitudinal,transverseandnormalpolarizationoftheΛbaryonon q2 dependence. Thesensitivityofthebranchingratioon UZ′ isinvestigatedandthedependence | qb | of the polarization parameter of Λ baryon on q2 is also investigated.
