Abstract
We present the first measurement of the lifetime of the Omega(c)(0) ba ryon. The data were collected in the Fermilab high energy photoproduct ion experiment E687. The measured lifetime is tau = 86(-20)(+27)(stat. ) +/- 28(syst.) fs. Thus the Omega(c)(0) has one of the shorter lifeti mes among the weakly decaying singly charmed baryons.
