Using 4.5 fb −1 of e + e − annihilation data samples collected at the center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.600 GeV to 4.699 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, a first study of Λ + c decaying semileptonically into the inclusive pK − system Λ + c → pK − e + νe is performed. The Λ + c → pK − e + νe decay is observed with a significance of 8.2σ and the branching fraction is measured to be B(Λ + c → pK − e + νe) = (0.82 ± 0.15stat. ± 0.06syst.) × 10 −3 . In addition, first evidence for the decay Λ + c → Λ(1520)e + νe is obtained with a significance of 3.3σ and the branching fraction is measured to be B(Λ + c → Λ(1520)e + νe) = (1.36 ± 0.56stat. ± 0.14syst.) × 10 −3 . We also measure the branching fraction for Λ + c → pK − non−Λ(1520) e + νe to be B(Λ + c → pK − non−Λ(1520) e + νe) = (0.53 ± 0.15stat. ± 0.06syst.) × 10 −3 . Using a measurement of the inclusive semileptonic Λ + c branching fraction from BESIII, the relative branching fractions are determined to be [B(Λ + c → pK − e + νe)/B(Λ + c → Xe + νe)] = (2.1 ± 0.4stat. ± 0.1syst.)% and [B(Λ + c → Λ * (1520)e + νe)/B(Λ + c → Xe + νe)] = (3.4 ± 1.4stat. ± 0.4syst.)%. These measurements provide a clear confirmation that semileptonic Λ + c decays are not saturated by the Λℓ + ν ℓ final state.
The cross section of the process e + e − → ωπ 0 π 0 is measured at nineteen center-of-mass energies from 2.00 to 3.08 GeV using data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. A resonant structure around 2.20 GeV is observed with significance larger than 5σ. Using a coherent fit to the cross section line shape, the mass and width are determined to be M = 2223±16±11 MeV/c 2 and Γ = 51 ± 29 ± 21 MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
