The pith
The work computes differential and total branching ratios plus forward-backward asymmetries for Λ_b → Λ ℓ⁺ℓ⁻, Σ_b → Σ ℓ⁺ℓ⁻ and Ξ_b → Ξ ℓ⁺ℓ⁻ in 2HDM Type III and contrasts them with SM predictions.
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
We aim to assess the impact of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with Type III on various observables, such as the differential branching ratio, total branching ratio, and lepton forward-backward asymmetries using the decay amplitude and the transition matrix elements in terms of form factors calculated via light cone QCD in full theory.
Load-bearing premise
The transition matrix elements are expressed in terms of form factors calculated via light-cone QCD sum rules in full theory; any systematic uncertainty or model dependence in those form factors directly propagates into the predicted observables.

We investigate rare special dileptonic decays of $ \Lambda_b$, $\Sigma_b$ and $\Xi_b $ baryons in the Standard Model and context of the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with Type III. Specifically, we consider the decays $ \Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda \ell^+ \ell^-$, $\Sigma_b \rightarrow \Sigma \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $\Xi_b \rightarrow \Xi \ell^+ \ell^-$, where $\ell$ represents $\mu$ or $\tau$ lepton. By studying these rare decays, we aim to assess the impact of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with Type III on various observables, such as the differential branching ratio, total branching ratio, and lepton forward-backward asymmetries using the decay amplitude and the transition matrix elements in terms of form factors calculated via light cone QCD in full theory. We compare our results to those of the Standard Model, as well as existing lattice QCD predictions and experimental data, to assess the agreement and viability of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with Type III. Furthermore, we highlight the potential for experimental investigations of these decay channels in the near future. The soon-to-be updated LHCb and/or Belle II detectors, renowned for their capabilities in studying rare decays, present excellent opportunities for probing the predicted branching ratios.
