Abstract
Based on a high statistics e(+)e(-) --> c (c) over bar data sample, we repo rt on the inclusive rate for charmed baryons to decay into Lambda particles using charm-event tagging. We select e(+)e(-) --> c (c) over bar events wh ich have a clear anti-charm tag and measure the h content in the hemisphere opposite the tag (charge conjugate modes are implicit). This allows us to determine the product branching fraction B-Lambda = B(c --> Theta X-c) x B( Theta (c) --> LambdaX), where Theta (c) represents a sum over all charmed b aryons produced in e(+)e(-) fragmentation at roots= 10.5 GeV, given our spe cific tags. We obtain B-Lambda =(1.87+/-0.03+/-0.33)%.
