Abstract

We study the singly Cabibbo suppressed decays Lambda_c+ --> p eta and Lambda_c+ → pπ0 using Lambda+Lambda_c- pairs produced by e+e- collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) =4.6 GeV. The data sample was collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 567 pb-1. We find the first evidence for the decay Lambda_c+ --> p eta with a statistical significance of 4.2 sigma and measure its branching fraction to be B( Lambda_c+ --> p eta)=(1.24±0.28(stat)±0.10(syst))10-3. No significant Lambda_c+ --> p pi0 signal is observed. We set an upper limit on its branching fraction B( Lambda_c+ --> p pi0)<2.7x10-4 at the 90% confidence level.
