Measurement of the Spin of theΩHyperon

Abstract: A measurement of the spin of the Omega(-) hyperon produced through the exclusive process Xi(c)(0)-->Omega(-)K(+) is presented using a total integrated luminosity of 116 fb(-1) recorded with the BABAR detector at the e(+)e(-) asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. Under the assumption that the Xi(c)(0) has spin 1/2, the angular distribution of the Lambda from Omega(-)-->LambdaK(-) decay is inconsistent with all half-integer Omega(-) spin values other than 3/2. Lower statistics data for the process Omega(c)(0)-->O… Show more

“…For example, the prediction and discovery of the baryon, with strangeness S = −3, have been a spectacular confirmation of how well the SU(3) flavor symmetry works in strong interactions. Nevertheless, more than a half-century later, our knowledge of multistrangeness baryons is still very limited as can be seen from the fact that the spin of − (1672) was only recently confirmed [1,2].…”
