Abstract
New measurements of the lifetime and mass of the Xi(c)(+) are presente d. The Xi(c)(+) has been reconstructed through the two decay channels Xi(-)pi(+)pi(+) Md Sigma(+)K(-)pi(+).. The data were accumulated by;th e Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. The lifetime i s measured to be 0.34(-0.05)(+0.07) (stat.) +/- 0.02(syst.) ps while t he mass is measured to be 2465.8 +/- 1.9(stat.)+/- 2.5(syst.) MeV/c(2) .
