Measurement of Branching Fractions of Hadronic Decays of the Ωc0\Omega_c^0 Baryon

Using a data sample of 980 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data taken with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we report the results of a study of the decays of the $\Omega_c^0$ charmed baryon into hadronic final states. We report the most precise measurements to date of the relative branching fractions of the $\Omega_c^0$ into $\Omega^-\pi^+\pi^0$, $\Omega^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$, $\Xi^-K^-\pi^+\pi^+$, and $\Xi^0K^-\pi^+$, as well as the first measurements of the branching fractions of the $\Omega_c^0$ into $\Xi^-\bar{K}^0\pi^+$, $\Xi^0\bar{K}^0$, and $\Lambda \bar{K}^0\bar{K}^0$, all with respect to the $\Omega^-\pi^+$ decay. In addition, we investigate the resonant substructure of these modes. Finally, we present a limit on the branching fraction for the decay $\Omega_c^0\to\Sigma^+K^-K^-\pi^+$

Measurement of the Decays Λc→Σππ\Lambda_c\to \Sigma\pi\pi at Belle

We report measurements of the branching fractions of the decays $\Lambda^+_c\to\Sigma^+\pi^-\pi^+$, $\Lambda^+_c\to\Sigma^0\pi^+\pi^0$ and $\Lambda^+_c\to\Sigma^+\pi^0\pi^0$ relative to the reference channel $\Lambda^+_c\to pK^-\pi^+$. The analysis is based on the full data sample collected at and close to $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 711 fb$^{-1}$. We measure ${\cal B}(\Lambda^+_c\rightarrow\Sigma^+\pi^-\pi^+)/{\cal B}(\Lambda^+_c\to pK^-\pi^+) = 0.706~\pm 0.003~\pm 0.029$, ${\cal B}(\Lambda^+_c\rightarrow\Sigma^0\pi^+\pi^0)/{\cal B}(\Lambda^+_c\to pK^-\pi^+) = 0.491~\pm 0.005~\pm 0.028$ and ${\cal B}(\Lambda^+_c\rightarrow\Sigma^+\pi^0\pi^0)/{\cal B}(\Lambda^+_c\to pK^-\pi^+) = 0.198~\pm 0.006~\pm 0.016$. The listed uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.Comment: Submitted to PR

Measurement of cos⁡2β\cos{2\beta} in B0→D(∗)h0B^{0} \to D^{(*)} h^{0} with D→KS0π+π−D \to K_{S}^{0} \pi^{+} \pi^{-} decays by a combined time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of BaBar and Belle data

We report measurements of $\sin{2\beta}$ and $\cos{2\beta}$ from a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of $B^{0} \to D^{(*)} h^{0}$ with $D \to K_{S}^{0} \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ decays, where the light unflavored and neutral hadron $h^{0}$ is a $\pi^{0}$, $\eta$, or $\omega$ meson. The analysis is performed with a combination of the final data sets of the \babar\ and Belle experiments containing $471 \times 10^{6}$ and $772 \times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon\left(4S\right)$ resonance at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. We measure $\sin{2\beta} = 0.80 \pm 0.14 \,(\rm{stat.}) \pm 0.06 \,(\rm{syst.}) \pm 0.03 \,(\rm{model})$ and $\cos{2\beta} = 0.91 \pm 0.22 \,(\rm{stat.}) \pm 0.09 \,(\rm{syst.}) \pm 0.07 \,(\rm{model})$. The result for the direct measurement of the angle is $\beta = \left( 22.5 \pm 4.4 \,(\rm{stat.}) \pm 1.2 \,(\rm{syst.}) \pm 0.6 \,(\rm{model}) \right)^{\circ}$. The last quoted uncertainties are due to the composition of the $D^{0} \to K_{S}^{0} \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ decay amplitude model, which is newly established by a Dalitz plot amplitude analysis of a high-statistics $e^{+}e^{-} \to c\bar{c}$ data sample as part of this analysis. We find the first evidence for $\cos2\beta>0$ at the level of $3.7$ standard deviations. The measurement excludes the trigonometric multifold solution $\pi/2 - \beta = (68.1 \pm 0.7)^{\circ}$ at the level of $7.3$ standard deviations and therefore resolves an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle. The hypothesis of $\beta = 0^{\circ}$ is ruled out at the level of $5.1$ standard deviations, and thus CP violation is observed in $B^{0} \to D^{(*)} h^{0}$ decays.Comment: To be submitted to Physical Review

Observation of Excited Ωc\Omega_c Charmed Baryons in e+e−e^+e^- Collisions

Using the entire Belle data sample of 980 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions, we present the results of a study of excited $\Omega_c$ charmed baryons in the decay mode $\Xi_c^+K^-$. We show confirmation of four of the five narrow states reported by the LHCb Collaboration: the $\Omega_c(3000)$ , $\Omega_c(3050)$, $\Omega_c(3066)$, and $\Omega_c(3090)$
