CLEO Collaboration, et al. (1996) Evidence for exclusive B decays to final states containing a charmed baryon. In: 27th International Conference on High-energy Physics (ICHEP 94), Glasgow, Scotland, 20-27 Jul 1994, (doi: 10.1080/01422419608223784)

Abstract

Using data collected in the region of the γ(4S) resonance with the CLEO-II detector, we report on the first observation of exclusive decays of the B meson to final states with a charmed baryon. We have made a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction B(B 0 → Γc + p π+π−) = (0.187 ± .059 ± 0.056 ± 0.045)%. In addition, we report upper limits for final states of the form B → Σ c + p (nπ) where (nπ) denotes up to four charged pions.
