Analysis of $J/\psi$ decays to $\Xi^-\bar{\Xi}^+$

Experiment: BESIII (BEPC)

Inspire ID: 2703033

Status: VALIDATED NOHEPDATA

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Rev.Lett. 132 (2024) 10, 101801 - arXiv: 2309.14667

Beams: e- e+

Beam energies: (1.6, 1.6)GeV

Run details: - e+e- > J/psi

Analysis of the angular distribution of the baryons, and decay products, produced in $e^+e^-\to J/\psi \to \Xi^-\bar{\Xi}^+$. The decay $\Xi^-\to\Lambda^0\pi^-$ and its charged conjugate are used together with $\Lambda^0\to p\pi^-$ and $\bar\Lambda^0\to\bar{n}\pi^0$, or the charge conjugate. Gives information about the decay and is useful for testing correlations in hadron decays.
