Evidence of New States Decaying into $\Xi_{c}^{*}\pi$

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2010-04-08 v2

Abstract

Using data recorded by the CLEO II detector at CESR, we report evidence for two new charmed baryons, one decaying into Ξc+π+π\Xi_c^+\pi^+\pi^- via an intermediate Ξc0\Xi_c^{*0}, and its isospin partner decaying into Ξc0π+π\Xi_c^0\pi^+\pi^- via an intermediate Ξc+\Xi_c^{*+}. We measure the mass differences of the two states to be M(Ξc+π+π)M(Ξc+)=M(\Xi_c^+\pi^+\pi^-)-M(\Xi_c^+)= 348.6±0.6±1.0348.6\pm0.6\pm1.0 MeV, and M(Ξc0π+π)M(Ξc0)=M(\Xi_c^0\pi^+\pi^-)-M(\Xi_c^0)= 347.2±0.7±2.0347.2\pm0.7\pm2.0 MeV. We interpret these new states as the JP=32J^P = {3 \over{2}}^- Ξc1\Xi_{c1} particles, the charmed-strange analogues of the Λc1+(2625)\Lambda_{c1}^+(2625).
