Abstract

We report on a measurement of the Ωc0 lifetime using Ωc0→Ω−π+ decays reconstructed in e+e−→cc¯ data collected by the Belle II experiment and corresponding to 207  fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The result, τ(Ωc0)=243±48(stat)±11(syst)  fs, agrees with recent measurements indicating that the Ωc0 is not the shortest-lived weakly decaying charmed baryon.
