Decay asymmetry in Λc+ → Λ0e+νe
Experiment: CLEOII (CESR)

Run details: - Any process producing Lambda_c+, original e+e-
Measurement of the decay asymmetry in Λc+ → Λ0e+νe by CLEOII. The product of assymetries αΛc+αΛ is extracted as that is what is measured not αΛc+ and there has been a significant change in αΛ since this paper was published
