Correlated leading baryon-antibaryon production in e^+e^- → c^c̅ → Λ^+_c^ Λ̅ ^-_c X
Chicago
Abstract
We present a study of 649 ± 35 e^+e^- → cc̅ events produced at √s ≈ 10:6 GeV containing both a Λ^+_c baryon and a Λ̅ -_c antibaryon. The number observed is roughly 4 times that expected if the leading charmed hadron types are uncorrelated, confirming an observation by the CLEO Collaboration. We find a 2-jet topology in these events but very few additional baryons, demonstrating that the primary c and c̅ are predominantly contained in a correlated baryon-antibaryon system. In addition to the charmed baryons we observe on average 2:6 ± 0:2 charged intermediate mesons, predominantly pions, carrying 65% of the remaining energy.
