Rivet analyses

Decay asymmetries in the decay of Ω baryons produced in Ξc0 and Ωc0 decays

Experiment: BABAR (PEP-II)

Inspire ID: 719581

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Rev.Lett. 97 (2006) 112001

Beams: * *

Beam energies: ANY

Run details: - Any process producing Xi_c0 and Omega_c0 baryons

Measurement of the decay asymmetries in Ξc0 → ΩK+ and Ωc → Ωπ+ by the BaBar experiment. In both cases the decay mode Ω → Λ0K was used. This analysis is useful for testing spin correlations in hadron decays.
