Measurements of relative branching ratios of Λ+ decays into states containing Σ

Abstract: We have studied the Cabibbo suppressed decay Λ + c → Σ + K * 0 (892) and the Cabibbo favored decays Λ + c → Σ + K + K − , Λ + c → Σ + φ and Λ + c → Ξ * 0 (Σ + K − )K + and measured their branching ratios relative to Λ + c → Σ + π + π − to be (7.8 ± 1.8 ± 1.3)%, (7.1 ± 1.1 ± 1.1)%, (8.7 ± 1.6 ± 0.6)% and (2.2 ± 0.6 ± 0.6)%, respectively. The first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We also report two 90% confidence level limits Γ

“…The uncertainty is dominated by the ratios of branching fractions of + c and + c decays in Eqs. (24) and (25). The central value of B( + c → pK − π + ) at the order of percent, is larger than the typical order of 10 −3 of the ordinary singly Cabibbo-suppressed processes, such as B( + c → + K * 0 ) = (3.6 ± 1.0) × 10 −3 .…”

“…The large uncertainty of B( + c → pK − π + ) in Eq. (26), inducing the major uncertainty of f b / f b , is dominated by two ratios of branching fractions: B( + c → pK * 0 )/B( + c → pK − π + ) = 0.54 ± 0.10 by FOCUS in 2001 [22] and B( + c → + K * 0 )/B( + c → + π + π − ) = 0.078 ± 0.022 measured by FOCUS in 2002 [25]. For the former, a more precise measurement can be performed by LHCb with partial wave analysis.…”

“…To measure Ξ ++ cc → Ξ + c π + , Ξ + c can be reconstructed using the mode Ξ + c → pK − π + at hadron colliders with all the charged particles in the final state. The absolute branching fraction of this process has never been directly measured, but the relative branching ratio was measured as [34], the branching fraction is…”
