The separate heavy-quark spin symmetries strongly constrain the matrix elements, leading to single form factors for ccb -> ccc, bbc -> ccb, and bbb -> bbc baryon decays. We also study the effects on these systems of using a Y-shaped confinement potential, as suggested by lattice QCD results for the interaction between three static quarks. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.85.014012 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.2962 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.85.014012 %P 014012-10pp
