Evidence for the decay $Omega_{c}^{0} to pi^+Omega(2012)^- to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi)^{-}$


Abstract in English

Using a data sample of 980~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we present evidence for the $Omega(2012)^-$ in the resonant substructure of $Omega_{c}^{0} to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi)^{-}$ ($(bar{K}Xi)^{-}$ = $K^-Xi^0$ + $bar{K}^0 Xi^-$) decays. The significance of the $Omega(2012)^-$ signal is 4.2$sigma$ after considering the systematic uncertainties. The ratio of the branching fraction of $Omega_{c}^{0} to pi^{+} Omega(2012)^- to pi^+ (bar{K}Xi)^{-}$ relative to that of $Omega_{c}^{0} to pi^{+} Omega^-$ is calculated to be 0.220 $pm$ 0.059(stat.) $pm$ 0.035(syst.). The individual ratios of the branching fractions of the two isospin modes are also determined, and found to be ${cal B}(Omega_{c}^0 to pi^+ Omega(2012)^-) times {cal B}(Omega(2012)^- to K^-Xi^0)/{cal B}(Omega_{c}^0 to pi^+ K^- Xi^0)$ = (9.6 $pm$ 3.2(stat.) $pm$ 1.8(syst.))% and ${cal B}(Omega_{c}^0 to pi^+ Omega(2012)^-) times {cal B}(Omega(2012)^- to bar{K}^0 Xi^-)/{cal B}(Omega_{c}^0 to pi^+ bar{K}^0 Xi^-)$ = (5.5 $pm$ 2.8(stat.) $pm$ 0.7(syst.))%.
