SelEX: Recent progress in the analysis of charm-strange and double-charm baryons Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • SELEX is still the only experiment observing double charm baryons. We published observations on two different decays modes, Ξ cc → Λ c K−π [5] and Ξ cc → pD K− [12]. After a re-analysis of our full data set, with improved efficiency and resolution, we presented here a higher-statistics observation of Ξ cc → Λ c K−π , and a re-analysis of the Ξcc(3780) . The new analysis also allows access to additional decay modes, and we presented here the first observation of Ξ cc → Ξ c π−π . SELEX will continue the line of analysis, by first publishing these preliminary results. We will try to measure the lifetime of the Ξ cc. We will also seek the isospinpartner of the Ξ cc, the Ξ cc in all corresponding decay modes around 3500 MeV/c. © HQL 2006.
