Measurement of the mass and width of the Λc(2625)+ charmed baryon and the branching ratios of Λc(2625)+→Σc0π+ and Λc(2625)+→Σc++π−

Abstract

Using the entire data sample of 980 fb−1 collected at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider, we report the measurement of the mass, width, and the branching ratios of the Λc(2625)+ charmed baryon. The mass difference between Λc(2625)+ and Λc+ is measured to be M(Λc(2625)+)−M(Λc+)=341.518±0.006±0.049 MeV/c2. The upper limit on the width is measured to be Γ(Λc(2625)+)<0.52 MeV/c2 at 90% confidence level. Based on a full Dalitz plot fit, branching ratios with respect to the mode Λc(2625)+→Λc+π+π− are measured to be B(Λc(2625)+→Σc0π+)B(Λc(2625)+→Λc+π+π−)=(5.19±0.23±0.40)% and B(Λc(2625)+→Σc++π−)B(Λc(2625)+→Λc+π+π−)=(5.13±0.26±0.32)%, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These measurements can be used to further constrain the parameters of the underlying theoretical models.Received 13 December 2022Accepted 20 January 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.032008Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
