Fermilab experiment E791 studied weak decays of D+, D_s, and D^0 mesons produced in collisions of 500 GeV/c negative pions with Pt and C targets. The experiment collected over 200,000 fully reconstructed charm decays. Four recent results…

The study of the charmed baryons is crucial for investigating the strong and weak interactions in the Standard Model and for gaining insights into the internal structure of baryons. In an $e^+e^-$ experiment the lightest charmed baryon,…
We study the mechanism of the weak decay process of Xi_b^0 into D^0 with a meson-baryon pair. It is shown that the dominant component of the prompt weak decay produces the meson-baryon pair with the spectator strange quark being transferred…
We study $\Lambda_c^\pm$ production in $pN$ and $\pi^-N$ interactions. Recent experimental data from the SELEX and E791 Collaborations at FNAL provide important information on the production mechanism of charm hadrons. In particular, the…
E769 has just recorded on tape the interactions of 500 million pions, kaons, and protons. A Cerenkov counter and a TRD were used to tag beam particle types in both positive and negative 250 GeV/c hadron beams. Thin foil Be, Al, Cu, and W…
We present a measurement of asymmetries in the production of $\Lambda_c^+$ and $\Lambda_c^-$ baryons in 500 GeV/c $\pi^-$--nucleon interactions from the E791 experiment at Fermilab. The asymmetries were measured as functions of Feynman x…
We report measurements of the charm-anticharm production asymmetries for $\Lambda_c^+$, $\Sigma_c^{++}$, $\Sigma_c^0$, $\Sigma_c^{++*}$, $\Sigma_c^{0*}$, and $\Lambda_c^+(2625)$ baryons from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment FOCUS…
Motivated by recent results on charmed baryons from CLEO and FOCUS, we reexamine the couplings of the orbitally excited charmed baryons. Due to its proximity to the [Sigma_c pi] threshold, the strong decays of the Lambda_c(2593) are…
The calculation of muon spectra from the decay of Lambda_c baryons was carried out on the basis of the description of recent data on charmed-baryon production in hadronic interactions. Data are described in the framework of Quark--Gluon…

Using data from the FOCUS experiment (FNAL-E831), we study the decay of $\Lambda^+_c$ baryons into final states containing a $\Lambda$ hyperon. The branching fractions of $\Lambda^+_c$ into $\Lambda \pi^+$, $\Lambda \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and…
We study the production of charmed mesons (D) and baryons (Lambda_c) in antiproton-proton (app) annihilation close to their respective production thresholds. The elementary charm production process is described by either baryon/meson…
