Observation of Cabibbo-Suppressed Two-Body Hadronic Decays and Precision Mass Measurement of the ${\Omega }_c^0$ Baryon

Abstract

The first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed ${\Omega }_c^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{K}^{+}$ and ${\Omega }_c^0\to {\Xi }^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ decays is reported, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $13\mathrm{TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector between 2016 and 2018. The branching fraction ratios are measured to be $\frac{\mathcal{B}({\Omega }_c^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{K}^{+})}{\mathcal{B}({\Omega }_c^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{\pi }^{+})}=[6.08\pm 0.51(\mathrm{stat})\pm 0.40(\mathrm{syst})]\%$, $\frac{\mathcal{B}({\Omega }_c^0\to {\Xi }^{-}{\pi }^{+})}{\mathcal{B}({\Omega }_c^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{\pi }^{+})}=[15.81\pm 0.87(\mathrm{stat})\pm 0.44(\mathrm{syst})\pm 0.16(\mathrm{ext})]\%$. In addition, using the ${\Omega }_c^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ decay channel, the ${\Omega }_c^0$ baryon mass is measured to be $M({\Omega }_c^0)=2695.28\pm 0.07(\mathrm{stat})\pm 0.27(\mathrm{syst})\pm 0.30(\mathrm{ext})\mathrm{MeV}$, improving the precision of the previous world average by a factor of 4.
