Abstract

We report the observation of the Cabibbo suppressed decay Xi (+)(c) --> pK( -)pi (+) using data collected with the FOCUS spectrometer during the 1996-1 997 Fermilab fixed target run. We find a Xi (+)(c) signal peak of 202 +/- 3 5 events. We have measured the relative branching ratios BR(Xi (+)(c) --> p K(-)pi (+))/BR(Xi (+)(c) --> Xi (-)pi (+)pi (+)) = 0.234 +/- 0.047 +/- 0.02 2 and BR(Xi (+)(c) --> p (K) over bar*(892)(0))/BR(Xi (+)(c) --> pK(-)pi ()) = 0.54 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.05.
