Result and Discusssion
In the hypercentral constituent quark
model (HCQM), to calculate the masses of
Ωb and Ωc baryons, we have chosen the quark
mass parameters as ms = 0.5 GeV, mb = 4.95
GeV, mc = 1.55 GeV (see Table 1). The
calculated mass of Ωc baryon is 2.661 GeV
and mass of Ωb baryon is 6.045 GeV which
are in agreement with experimental results.

constants used in the calculations

The variation of differential decay rate of
Ωb → Ωc eνe is shown in Fig. 1. The calcu-
lated value for the slope at zero recoil of the
Isgur-Wise function is 3.43. Our computed
value of convexity parameter c is 1.87. The
calculated result for the semileptonic decay
width of Ωb baryon is 1.73 × 1010 s−1 . We can
observe that the decay widths predicted by
different approaches vary from 1.29 × 1010 s−1
to 5.4 × 1010 s−1 .
