Measurements of the masses and widths of the c(2455)0/++ and c(2520)0/++ baryons

Abstract

We present measurements of the masses and decay widths of the baryonic states c(2455)0/++ and c(2520)0/++ using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider operating at the (4S) resonance. We report the mass differences with respect to the c+ baryon M(c(2455)0)-M(c+) = 167.290.010.02 MeV/c2, M(c(2455)++)-M(c+) = 167.510.010.02 MeV/c2, M(c(2520)0)-M(c+) = 231.980.110.04 MeV/c2, M(c(2520)++)-M(c+) = 231.990.100.02 MeV/c2, and the decay widths (c(2455)0) = 1.760.04+0.09-0.21 MeV/c2, (c(2455)++) = 1.840.04+0.07-0.20 MeV/c2, (c(2520)0) = 15.410.41+0.20-0.32 MeV/c2, (c(2520)++) = 14.770.25+0.18-0.30 MeV/c2, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The isospin mass splittings are measured to be M(c(2455)++)-M(c(2455)0)=0.220.010.01 MeV/c2 and M(c(2520)++)-M(c(2520)0)=0.010.150.03 MeV/c2. These results are the most precise to date.
