First measurement of the \( {\Lambda}_c^{+} \) → pη' decay
We present the first measurement of the branching fraction of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) decay \( {\Lambda}_c^{+} \) → pη' with η' → ηπ+π–, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 981 fb–1, collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e– asymmetric-energy collider. A significant \( {\Lambda}_c^{+} \) → pη' signal is observed for the first time with a signal significance of 5.4σ. The relative branching fraction with respect to the normalization mode \( {\Lambda}_c^{+} \) → pK–π+ is measured to be$$$$ \frac{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_c^{+}\to p\eta^{\prime}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_c^{+}\to {pK}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)}=\left(7.54\pm 1.32\pm 0.73\right)\times {10}^{-3}, $$$$where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Using the world-average value of \( \mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_c^{+}\to {pK}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right) \) = (6.28 ± 0.32) × 10–2, we obtain$$$$ \mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_c^{+}\to p\eta^{\prime}\right)=\left(4.73\pm 0.82\pm 0.46\pm 0.24\right)\times {10}^{-4}, $$$$where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and from \( \mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_c^{+}\to {pK}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right) \), respectively.
