Measurement of branching fractions of Λc+ decays to Σ+K+K−, Σ+ϕ and Σ+K+π−(π0)
Abstract
Based on 4.5 fb−1 data taken at seven center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.600 to 4.699 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we measure the branching fractions of Λc+→ Σ+ + hadrons relative to Λc+→ Σ+π+π−. Combining with the world average branching fraction of Λc+→ Σ+π+π−, their branching fractions are measured to be (0.377 ± 0.042 ± 0.020 ± 0.021)% for Λc+→ Σ+K+K−, (0.200 ± 0.023 ± 0.011 ± 0.011)% for Λc+→ Σ+K+π−, (0.414 ± 0.080 ± 0.030 ± 0.023)% for Λc+→ Σ+ϕ and (0.197 ± 0.036 ± 0.009 ± 0.011)% for Λc+ → Σ+K+K−(non-ϕ). In all the above results, the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic and the third are from external input of the branching fraction of Λc+→ Σ+π+π−. Since no signal for Λc+→ Σ+K+π−π0 is observed, the upper limit of its branching fraction is determined to be 0.13% at the 90% confidence level.
