P. Abreu et al., SEARCH FOR EXCLUSIVE DECAYS OF THE LAMBDA(B) BARYON AND MEASUREMENT OF ITS MASS, Physics letters. Section B, 374(4), 1996, pp. 351-361
A search for fully reconstructed Lambda(b)(0) beauty baryons is perfor
med using about 3 million Z decays collected with the DELPHI detector
at LEP. The analysis relies on the combined use of the accurate tracki
ng and of the hadron identification capabilities of DELPHI. A total of
four events has been found, three in the Lambda(c)(+)pi(-) channel an
d one in the Lambda(c)(+)a(1)(-) channel over a small background. The
Lambda(b)(0) beauty baryon mass is measured to be (5668 +/- 16 (stat.)
+/-8 (syst.)) MeV/c(2).
