Abstract

The decuplet parity-conserving weak spurion has been evaluated in the Sugawara-Suzuki model by assuming that the relevant matrix elements, in a currentXcurrent model, are saturated by baryon octet and decuplet single-particle intermediate states. SU(6) symmetry has been used to determine the decuplet form factors at zero momentum transfer. In this approach, octet dominance for the decuplet spurion emerges in a natural manner. The P-wave Ω decay amplitudes are obtained with the baryon octet and decuplet spurion strengths as input. By assuming that the D-wave amplitudes for ΩΛK, Ξπ decays are given by the K*-pole model, we predict a zero asymmetry parameter for ΩΛK and a maximal one (α1) for ΩΞπ decays. The total decay rate of the Ω is estimated to be Γ(Ω)8×109 sec1, which is in good agreement with experiment.
