Title: Precision Measurements of the {Lambda}{sup +}{sub c} and D{sup 0} Lifetimes

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

We report new precision measurements of the lifetimes of the {Lambda}{sup +}{sub c} and D{sup 0} from SELEX, the charm hadroproduction experiment at Fermilab. Based upon 1630 {Lambda}{sup +}{sub c} and 10210 D{sup 0} decays we observe lifetimes of {tau}[{Lambda}{sup +}{sub c}]=198.1{+-} 7.0{+-}5.6 fs and {tau}[D{sup 0}]=407.9{+-}6.0{+-}4 .3 fs .
