1/2, Ξ and Σ baryons are investigated in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules. In
particular, using the most general form of the interpolating currents for the heavy baryons as
well as the distribution amplitudes of the Ξ and Σ baryons, we calculate all form factors
entering the matrix elements of the corresponding effective Hamiltonians in full QCD. Having
calculated the responsible form factors, we evaluate the decay rates and branching fractions …
