We present a study of a singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Λc+→pK0SK0S and a Cabibbo-favored decay Λc_→pK0Sη based on 980 fb−1 of data collected by the Belle detector, operating at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e− collider. We measure their branching fractions relative to Λc+→pK0S: B(Λc+→pK0SK0S)/B(Λc+→pK0S)=(1.48±0.08±0.04)×10−2 and B(Λc+→pK0Sη)/B(Λc+→pK0S)=(2.73±0.06±0.13)×10−1. Combining with the world average B(Λc+→pK0S), we have the absolute branching fractions: B(Λc+→pK0SK0S)=(2.35±0.12±0.07±0.12)×10−4 and B(Λc+→pK0Sη)=(4.35±0.10±0.20±0.22)×10−3. The first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise from the uncertainty on B(Λc+→pK0S). The mode Λc+→pK0SK0S is observed for the first time and has a statistical significance of >10σ. The branching fraction of Λc+→pK0Sη has been measured with a threefold improvement in precision over previous results and is found to be consistent with the world average.

Abstract
We present a study of a singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Λc+→pK0SK0S and a Cabibbo-favored decay Λc_→pK0Sη based on 980 fb−1 of data collected by the Belle detector, operating at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e− collider. We measure their branching fractions relative to Λc+→pK0S: B(Λc+→pK0SK0S)/B(Λc+→pK0S)=(1.48±0.08±0.04)×10−2 and B(Λc+→pK0Sη)/B(Λc+→pK0S)=(2.73±0.06±0.13)×10−1. Combining with the world average B(Λc+→pK0S), we have the absolute branching fractions: B(Λc+→pK0SK0S)=(2.35±0.12±0.07±0.12)×10−4 and B(Λc+→pK0Sη)=(4.35±0.10±0.20±0.22)×10−3. The first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise from the uncertainty on B(Λc+→pK0S). The mode Λc+→pK0SK0S is observed for the first time and has a statistical significance of >10σ. The branching fraction of Λc+→pK0Sη has been measured with a threefold improvement in precision over previous results and is found to be consistent with the world average.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
