NNLO-QCD corrections to the free b-quark decay and NLO corrections to dimension-five operators reduce uncertainties in HQE predictions for b-baryon lifetimes, yielding excellent agreement with experiment.

abstract
We complete the calculation of the contributions from the dimension six operators in the heavy quark expansion for the total lifetime of heavy hadrons. We give the expressions for the Wilson coefficients of the Darwin term $\rho_D$ and the spin-orbit term $\rho_{\rm LS}$ at tree level.

Lifetimes of Xi_cc++, Xi_cc+, Omega_cc+ are (2.67 ± 0.94, 0.47 ± 0.08, 1.79 ± 0.62) × 10^{-13} s and for Xi_bb0, Xi_bb-, Omega_bb- are (0.75 ± 0.11, 0.92 ± 0.15, 0.93 ± 0.15) × 10^{-12} s, with W-exchange driving large splittings in the charmed sector.
Updated predictions within the heavy quark expansion confirm the lifetime hierarchy τ(Ξ_cc^+) < τ(Ω_cc^+) < τ(Ξ_cc^++) with τ(Ξ_cc^++) = 0.32 ± 0.05 +0.08/-0.07 ps matching LHCb data and provide ratios for the other states.
The Heavy Flavour Averaging Group reports updated world averages for b-hadron, c-hadron, and tau-lepton properties including branching fractions, lifetimes, mixing, CP violation, and CKM elements.
