Abstract

We report a precise measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(Λc+→pKS0π0)/B(Λc+→pK−π+) using 980  fb−1 of e+e− data from the Belle experiment. We obtain a value of B(Λc+→pKS0π0)/B(Λc+→pK−π+)=0.339±0.002±0.009, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This Belle result is consistent with the previous measurement from the CLEO experiment but has a fivefold improvement in precision. By combining our result with the world average B(Λc+→pK−π+), we obtain the absolute branching fraction B(Λc+→pKS0π0)=(2.12±0.01±0.05±0.10)%, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and the uncertainty in the absolute branching fraction scale B(Λc+→pK−π+), respectively. This measurement can shed light on hadronic decay mechanisms in charmed baryon decays.
