Study of C P violation in Λ b 0 → N * M decays with the final-state rescattering mechanism

In this work, we investigate the charmless non-leptonic two-body Λb decays within the framework of final-state rescattering mechanism. In contrast to the Cutkosky cutting method, we compute both the absorptive and dispersive parts of the hadronic rescattering triangle diagrams. Based on the established formalism, we analyze the Λb → N^*(1535,1520)M decay processes with M =KS, K^*₀(700), f₀(500,980), ρ(770), K̄*0, $ϕ$, and predict various physical observables, such as their branching ratios, direct and partial-wave $CP$ asymmetries, as well as decay asymmetry parameters. These two-body decay processes are expected to contribute primarily to the subsequent four-body decay channels, such as Λb⁰ → p\,π⁻\,π⁺\,π⁻, whose $CP$ asymmetry measurements will be accessible at the LHCb experiment.
