CLEO_2000_I537236

Decay asymmetries in $\Xi^0_c\to\Xi^-\pi^+$
Experiment: CLEO (CESR)
Inspire ID: 537236
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Peter Richardson

Beams: * *
Beam energies: ANY
Run details:
  • Any process producing Lambda_c baryons

Measurement of the decay asymmetries in $\Xi^0_c\to\Xi^-\pi^+$ by the CLEO experiment. The asymmetry parameter is extracted by fitting to normalised angular distribution. This analysis is useful for testing spin correlations in hadron decays.
