Abstract

We report the first observation of the Ξc(2930)0 charmed-strange baryon with a significance greater than 5σ. The Ξc(2930)0 is found in its decay to K−Λc+ in B−→K−Λc+Λc- decays. The measured mass and width are [2928.9±3.0(stat.)+0.9−12.0(syst.)] MeV/c2 and [19.5±8.4(stat.)+5.9−7.9(syst.)] MeV, respectively, and the product branching fraction is B(B−→Ξc(2930)0Λc−)B(Ξc(2930)0→K−Λc+)=[1.73±0.45(stat.)±0.21(syst.)]×10^−4. We also measure B(B−→K−Λ+cΛ¯−c)=[4.80±0.43(stat.)±0.60(syst.)]×10^−4 with improved precision, and search for the charmonium-like state Y(4660) and its spin partner, Yη, in the Λc+Λc− invariant mass spectrum. No clear signals of the Y(4660) nor its spin partner are observed and the 90% credibility level (C.L.) upper limits on their production rates are determined. These measurements are obtained from a sample of (772±11)×10^6 BB pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider.
