First Observation of the Doubly Charmed Baryon Xicc+
Abstract
We observe a signal for the doubly charmed baryon Xicc+ in the charged decay mode Xicc+ --> Lambdac+ K- pi+ in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production experiment at Fermilab. We observe an excess of 15.9 events over an expected background of 6.1 +/- 0.5 events, a statistical significance of 6.3sigma. The observed mass of this state is (3519 +/- 1) MeV/c2. The Gaussian mass width of this state is 3MeV/c2, consistent with resolution; its lifetime is less than 33fsec at 90% confidence.
