First observation of a family of double-charm baryons

Creators

Description

The SELEX experiment (E781) at Fermilab has candidates for high mass states decaying to Λc+K-π+ and Λc+K-pi+π+, Cabibbo-allowed decay modes of doubly-charmed baryons Ξcc+ and Ξcc++. The masses are consistent with theoretical considerations, but the spectroscopy is surprising. Limited lifetime information suggests that τΞcc++ ∼ τΞcc+
