Measurement of the $\Omega_c^0$ Lifetime

Abstract

The FOCUS experiment(FNAL-E831) has used two channels, Ωπ+\Omega^- \pi^+ and ΞKπ+π+\Xi^-K^- \pi^+ \pi^+,to measure the lifetime of the Ωc0\Omega_c^0 charmed baryon. From a sample of 64±1464 \pm 14 signal events at a mass of 2.698 GeV/c2c^2, we measure an Ωc0\Omega_c^0 lifetime of 72±1172 \pm 11 (stat.) ±11\pm 11 (sys.) fs, substantially improving upon the current world average.
