Abstract

Abstract We present results on a sample of Λc decays obtained in the NA32 experiment in 1985 using charge-coupled devices for vertex reconstruction and a trigger on Λc→pK−π+ (and charge conjugate). We observe a distinct peak at the Λc mass on zero background. The lifetime of the Λc is determined to be (1.4±0.30.5±0.3)x10−13 s based on a sample of 14 events.
