Measurement of the Lambda(c)+ and D(s)+ lifetimes

Journal Article · · Phys.Lett.B

Measurements of the lifetimes of the Λ + c decaying into pK - π + and of the D + s decaying into φπ + are presented. The data were accumulated in the Fermilab Wide-Band photoproduction experiment E687. The lifetimes of the Λ + c and the D + s are measured to be (0.20±0.03±3)× 10 -12 s and (0.50±0.06±0.03) × 10 -12 s respectively.
