We study the decays of ΛbΛc(Bnf)ν¯ with =e, μ, τ, where Bn and f are the daughter baryon and the rest of the particles in Λc cascade decays, respectively. In particular, we examine the full angular distributions with polarized Λb and lepton mass effects, in which the time-reversal asymmetries are identified. We concentrate on the decay modes of ΛbΛc(pKπ+)ν¯ to demonstrate their experimental feasibility. We show that the observables associated with the time-reversal asymmetries are useful to search for new physics as they vanish in the standard model. We find that they are sensitive to the right-handed current from new physics, and possible to be observed at LHCb.
