| contents | We derive a robust sum rule among the branching fractions of $Λ_b \to Λν\barν$ and $B \to K^{(\ast)} ν\barν$, assuming that right-handed neutrinos are decoupled. Despite the presence of 18 independent Wilson coefficients in the effective Hamiltonian, this relation remains exact. Remarkably, it is found that the coefficients of this baryon-meson sum rule are numerically identical to those of the $b\to c$ semileptonic sum rule among the branching fractions of $Λ_b \to Λ_c τ\barν$ and $B \to D^{(\ast)}τ\barν$. Once the decay rate of $B \to K^{\ast} ν\barν$ is measured, the decay rate of $Λ_b \to Λν\barν$ can be determined in a model-independent manner for new-physics scenarios involving only left-handed neutrino interactions. This clearly demonstrates that observables in baryonic and mesonic $b \to s ν\barν$ transitions will serve as a powerful probe for discriminating among new-physics scenarios. |
