First Observation Of Inclusive B Decays To The Charmed Strange Baryons Sub C And Sub C

First Observation of Inclusive B Decays to the Charmed Strange Baryons?{sub C}° And?{sub C}

Using data collected in the region of the?(4S) resonance with the CLEO II detector operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), they present the first observation of B mesons decaying into the charmed strange baryons?{sub c}° and?{sub c}. The authors find 79 ± 27?{sub c}° and 125 ± 28?{sub c}+ candidates from B decays, leading to product branching fractions of?({bar B} →?{sub c}°X)?(?{sub c}° →?−?+) = (0.144 ± 0.048 ± 0.021) x 10−3 and?({bar B} →?{sub c}+X)?(?{sub c}+ →?−?+?+) = (0.453 ± 0.096{sub -0.065}{sup +0.085}) x 10−3.
