Production and Decay of Charmed Baryons: Spectra of Muons and Asymmetry between mu+ and mu-

Abstract

The calculation of muon spectra from the decay of Lambda_c baryons was carried out on the basis of the description of recent data on charmed-baryon production in hadronic interactions. Data are described in the framework of Quark--Gluon String Model that allowes us to consider primary proton interactions of arbitrary high energy. MC code was built for charmed-baryon semileptonic decay in order to obtain the kinematical characteristics of resulting particles. It is predicted that the charge asymmetry between energy spectra of mu+ and mu- in laboratory system is clearly seen as the consequence of asymmetry between the spectra of charmed baryons and antibaryons.This extension of QGS Model can be useful to correct the calculations of muon and neutrino spectra in astrophysics.
