Measurements of absolute branching fractions for Lambda(+)(c) -> Xi K-0(+) and Xi(1530)K-0(+)

Abstract

We report the first measurements of absolute branching fractions for the W-exchange-only processes Lambda(+)(c) -> Xi K-0(+) and Lambda(+)(c)-> Xi(1530)K-0(+) with the double-tag technique, by analyzing an e(+)e(-) collision data sample, that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 567 pb(-1) collected at a center-of-mass energy of 4.6 GeV by the BESIII detector. The branching fractions are measured to be B(Lambda(+)(c)-> Xi K-0(+)) = (5.90 +/- 0.86 +/- 0.39) x 10(-3) and B(Lambda(+)(c)-> Xi(1530)K-0(+)) = (5.02 +/- 0.99 +/- 0.31) x 10(-3), where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. Our results are more precise than the previous relative measurements. (c) 2018 The Author. Published by Elsevier B.V.
