Measurement of the branching fraction andΛ¯polarization inB0Λ¯pπ

Abstract: We present a measurement of the B 0 →Λpπ − branching fraction performed using the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e + e − collider. Based on a 232 million BB pairs data sample we measure: B(B 0 →Λpπ − ) = [3.30 ± 0.53 (stat.) ± 0.31 (syst.)] × 10 −6 . A measurement of the differential spectrum as a function of the di-baryon invariant mass m(Λp) is also presented; this shows a near-threshold enhancement similar to that observed in other baryonic B decays.

“…B " B 0 M decays, where M can be either pesudoscalar (P) or vector (V) mesons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In particular, the threshold effect of the sharp peak around the threshold area in the dibaryon invariant mass spectrum has been observed as a common feature in these baryonic decays [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], which makes the decay branching ratios reach to the magnitude of order 10 À6 , accessible to the detection at the B factories. Furthermore, it partly gives the answer of the nonobservations of the two-body baryonic " B decays [9], such as " B 0 !…”

“…Therefore, the hyperon will undergo a Larmor precession in the magnetic field in the detector. However, this effect was not considered in previous publications [4,[6][7][8][9][10][11], which may account for the difference of the measurement of α − . This effect is small but very important, because the measurements of CP violation could reach high sensitivity.…”

“…In the analysis selection chain, the candidates for both the B 0 (s) → pp signal decays and for the normalisation channel The first observation of the decay B 0 → pp, the rarest B 0 decay ever observed, provides valu- The branching fraction of the B 0 s → pΛ K − decay has been predicted to be of the order of 10 −6 [18], the same as for its similar mode B 0 → pΛ π − . The current experimental situation on the family of B 0 (s) → pΛ h − decays (h = π, K) and related modes such as B 0 (s) → pΣ 0 h − , with Σ 0 → Λ γ, is rather poor: the B 0 → pΛ π − decay has been studied by the BaBar [19] and Belle [20] collaborations; the Belle collaboration also reported the 90% C.L. upper limits…”
