A measurement of asymmetry in the decay {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} {yields} {Lambda}{pi}{sup +}

Abstract

Using the ARGUS detector at the e{sup +}e{sup -} storage ring DORIS II at DESY, we have observed parity violation in the decay {Lambda}{sup {+-}}{sub c} {yields} {Lambda}{pi}{sup -}{+-}. We measure the coefficient of parity violation, {alpha}{sub {Lambda}c}, to be -0.96 {+-} 0.42. In addition, we measure {sigma}xBR({Lambda}{sup +}{sub c} {yields} {Lambda}{pi}{sup +}) and {sigma}xBR({Lambda}{sup +}{sub c} {yields} {Sigma}{sup o}{pi}{sup +}) to be, respectively, (2.2 {+-} 0.3 {+-} 0.4) pb and (1.8 {+-} 0.5 {+-} 0.3) pb. (orig.).
