First measurements of absolute branching fractions of Xi_c⁰ at Belle
read the original abstract
We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of $\Xi_c^0$ decays into $\Xi^- \pi^+$, $\Lambda K^- \pi^+$, and $p K^- K^- \pi^+$ final states. The measurements are made using a data set comprising $(772\pm 11)\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. We first measure the absolute branching fraction for $B^- \to \bar{\Lambda}_c^- \Xi_c^0$ using a missing-mass technique; the result is ${\cal B}(B^- \to \bar{\Lambda}_c^- \Xi_c^0) = (9.51 \pm 2.10 \pm 0.88) \times 10^{-4}$. We subsequently measure the product branching fractions ${\cal B}(B^- \to \bar{\Lambda}_c^- \Xi_c^0){\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to \Xi^- \pi^+)$, ${\cal B}( B^- \to \bar{\Lambda}_c^- \Xi_c^0) {\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to \Lambda K^- \pi^+)$, and ${\cal B}( B^- \to \bar{\Lambda}_c^- \Xi_c^0) {\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to p K^- K^- \pi^+)$ with improved precision. Dividing these product branching fractions by the result for $B^- \to \bar{\Lambda}_c^- \Xi_c^0$ yields the following branching fractions: ${\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to \Xi^- \pi^+)= (1.80 \pm 0.50 \pm 0.14)\%$, ${\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to \Lambda K^- \pi^+)=(1.17 \pm 0.37 \pm 0.09)\%$, and ${\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to p K^- K^- \pi^+)=(0.58 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.05)\%.$ For the above branching fractions, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Our result for ${\cal B}(\Xi_c^0 \to \Xi^- \pi^+)$ can be combined with $\Xi_c^0$ branching fractions measured relative to $\Xi_c^0 \to \Xi^- \pi^+$ to yield other absolute $\Xi_c^0$ branching fractions.

Revisiting $\bar B^0 \rightarrow \Lambda_c^+ \bar p$ decay with higher twist corrections
Higher-twist LCDAs plus W-exchange produce destructive interference that lowers the PQCD branching fraction of B-bar0 to Lambda_c+ p-bar to ~1.6e-5, matching experiment, while predicting the suppressed mode at order 10^{-8}.
