Abstract
We study the K 0 S − K 0 L asymmetries and CP violations in charm-baryon decays with neutral kaons in the final state. The K 0 S − K 0 L asymmetry can be used to search for two-body doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes of charm-baryon decays, with the one in Λ + c → pK 0 S, L as a promising observable. Besides, it is studied for a new CP-violation effect in these processes, induced by the interference between the Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes with the neutral kaon mixing. Once the new CP-violation effect is determined by experiments, the direct CP asymmetry in neutral kaon modes can then be extracted and used to search for new physics. The numerical results based on SU(3) symmetry will be tested by the experiments in the future.
