First Observation of Cabibbo-Suppressed Ξ_c^0 Decays
Abstract
We report the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays $Ξ_c^0\rightarrow Ξ^- K^+$, $Ξ_c^0\raΛK^+ K^-$ and $Ξ_c^0\rightarrow Λϕ$, using a data sample of $711\, \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. We measure the ratios of branching fractions to be $\frac{{\cal B}(Ξ_c^0\ra Ξ^- K^+)}{{\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\raΞ^-π^+)}=(2.75\pm 0.51\pm 0.25)\times 10^{-2}$, $\frac{{\cal B}(Ξ_c^0\raΛK^+ K^-)}{{\cal B}(Ξ_c^0\rightarrowΞ^- π^+)}=(2.86\pm 0.61\pm 0.24)\times 10^{-2}$ and $\frac{{\cal B}(Ξ_c^0\ra Λϕ)}{{\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\raΞ^-π^+)}=(3.43\pm 0.58\pm 0.32)\times 10^{-2}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.
