Observation of decays of short-lived particles in an emulsion exposed to 400-GeV/c protons

The nine events of short-lived particle decay observed in an emulsion bombarded with 400-GeV/c protons are interpreted as decays of charmed particles (mainly baryons). An estimate of the lifetime yielded a value 1.2 x 10/sup -14/ sec. The cross section for the production of charmed particles was found to be approx.100 ..mu..b/nucleon.
