A measurement of the lifetimes of the Ω0c and Ξ0c baryons is reported using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^−1 collected by the LHCb experiment.

These results confirm previous LHCb measurements based on semileptonic beauty-hadron decays, which disagree with earlier results of a four times shorter Ω0c lifetime, and provide the single most precise measurement of the Ω0c lifetime.

Abstract

A measurement of the lifetimes of the Ω0c and Ξ0c baryons is reported using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^−1 collected by the LHCb experiment. The Ω0c and Ξ0c baryons are produced directly from proton interactions and reconstructed in the p K− K− π+ final state. The Ω0c lifetime is measured to be 276.5 ± 13.4 ± 4.4 ± 0.7 fs, and the Ξ0c lifetime is measured to be 148.0 ± 2.3 ± 2.2 ± 0.2 fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third due to the uncertainty on the D0 lifetime. These results confirm previous LHCb measurements based on semileptonic beauty-hadron decays, which disagree with earlier results of a four times shorter Ω0c lifetime, and provide the single most precise measurement of the Ω0c lifetime.
