Observation of {Lambda}{sup 0 ovr sub b} {r_arrow}J/{Psi} {Lambda} at the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D
The decay {Lambda}{sup 0}{sub b} {yields}J/{Psi} {Lambda} is observed in 110 pb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collisions taken at {radical} s=1.8 TeV. These data are used to measure a {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0} mass of 5621{+-}4(stat){+-}3(syst) MeV/c2, and a mass difference between the {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0} and the B{sup 0} of 340{+-}5(stat){+-}1(syst) MeV/c2. The production cross-section times branching fraction for the decay {Lambda}{sup 0}{sub b} {yields}J/{Psi} {Lambda} relative to that for the decay B{sup 0}{yields}J/{psi} K{sub S}{sup 0} has been measured to be 0.27{+-}0.12(stat){+-}0.05(syst).
