DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe charmed baryon $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}$ has been observed using the ARGUS detector in the DORIS II $e\sp{+}e\sp-$ storage ring at DESY. The ARGUS experiment is a 4$\pi$ magnetic solenoidal detector used to observe $e\sp{+}e\sp-$ annihilations at center-of-mass energies around 10.4 GeV. We have studied 5 decays modes of the $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}$. The decay mode $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}\to pK\sp-\pi\sp+$ was used to measure the $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}$ fragmentation properties. A value of 0.24 $\pm$ 0.04 was found for the Peterson et al. parameter $\epsilon$, and the $\sigma(\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}$) $\cdot\ BR(\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}\to pK\sp-\pi\sp+$) was measured to be 12.0 $\pm$ 1.1 $\pm$ 1.3) pb. The decay modes $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}\to\Lambda\pi\sp+$ and $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}\to\Sigma\sp0\pi\sp+$ were also studied. In the former the asymmetry parameter $\alpha\sb{\Lambda\sb{c}}$ was measured to be $-$1.0 $\pm$ 0.5, indicating that parity is maximally violated in this decay. The two production cross section times branching ratios were measured to be (2.2 $\pm$ 0.3 $\pm$ 0.3) pb and (2.0 $\pm$ 0.7 $\pm$ 0.3) pb respectively. Finally, a search was made for evidence of W-exchange in the decay $\Lambda\sbsp{c}{+}\to\Xi\sp-K\sp+\pi\sp+$. This final state can arise through a simple spectator decay or via the more exotic W-exchange decay into $\Xi\sp{*0}K\sp+$, where the $\Xi\sp{*0}$ subsequently decays into $\Xi\sp-\pi\sp+$. The two body rate was measured to be (35 $\pm$ 17)% of the three body rate, indicating that a significant portion of the $\Xi\sp-K\sp+\pi\sp+$ final state may occur via W-exchange.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt has recently been shown that hadrons containing a single heavy quark exhibit a new flavor-spin symmetry of QCD. We exploit this symmetry to obtain model independent predictions for the form factors for the semileptonic decay of the Lambda(sub)b to the low-lying negative parity charm baryons. We discuss the connection between these results and the slope of the universal function Zeta that determines the Lambda(sub)b->Lambda(sub)c weak form factors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe authors report on several studies of charm baryon production and decays by the BABAR collaboration. They confirm previous observations of the {Xi}'{sub c}{sup 0/+}, {Xi}{sub c}(2980){sup +} and {Xi}{sub c}(3077){sup +} baryons, measure branching ratios for Cabibbo-suppressed {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} decays and use baryon decays to study the properties of the light-quark baryons, {Omega}{sup -} and {Xi}(1690){sup 0}.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe authors present a precision measurement of the mass of the {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} and studies of the production and decay of the {Omega}{sub c}{sup 0} and {Xi}{sub c}{sup 0} charm baryons using data collected by the BABAR experiment. To keep the systematic uncertainty as low as possible, the {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} mass measurement is performed using the low Q-value decays, {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} {yields} {Lambda}{sup 0} K{sub S}{sup 0}K{sup +} and {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} {yields} {Sigma}{sup 0} K{sub S}{sup 0}K{sup +}. Several hadronic final states involving an {Omega}{sup -} and a {Xi}{sup -} hyperon are analyzed to reconstruct the {Xi}{sub c}{sup 0} and the {Omega}{sub c}{sup 0}.
