DOWNLOAD EBOOKResults are presented for the 500 GeV/c pion production asymmetry and polarization of the [Lambda]{sub c} ({bar [Lambda]}{sub c}) charmed baryon from Fermilab experiment E791. An analysis of the decay to the p{bar K}[pi] final state is described. Resonant sub-channel fractions and phases are given and possible resonant effects in the low mass p{bar K} system discussed. Significant decay to {Lambda}{sub c} → [Delta]2K− establishes for the first time the importance of a W exchange mechanism in charmed baryon decay.
