Measurement of ${\Omega }_{\mathrm{c}}^0$ baryon production and branching-fraction ratio $\mathrm{BR}({\mathrm{\Omega }}_{\mathrm{c}}^0\to {\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}{\mathrm{e}}^{+}{\nu }_{\mathrm{e}})/\mathrm{BR}({\mathrm{\Omega }}_{\mathrm{c}}^0\to {\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}{\pi }^{+})$ in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

Abstract

The inclusive production of the charm-strange baryon ${\Omega }_{\mathrm{c}}^0$ is measured for the first time via its semileptonic decay into ${\Omega }^{-}{\mathrm{e}}^{+}{\nu }_{\mathrm{e}}$ at midrapidity ($|y|<0.8$) in proton$-$proton (pp) collisions at the centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$) differential cross section multiplied by the branching ratio is presented in the interval $2<p_{\mathrm{T}}<12\mathrm{GeV}/c$. The branching-fraction ratio $\mathrm{BR}({\Omega }_{\mathrm{c}}^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{\mathrm{e}}^{+}{\nu }_{\mathrm{e}})/\mathrm{BR}({\Omega }_{\mathrm{c}}^0\to {\Omega }^{-}{\pi }^{+})$ is measured to be 1.12 $\pm$ 0.22 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.27 (syst.). Comparisons with other experimental measurements, as well as with theoretical calculations, are presented.
