Precision Measurement of the Mass and Lifetime of the Ξ0b Baryon

Using a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb−1 collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, about 3800 Ξ0b→Ξ+cπ−, Ξ+c→pK−π+ signal decays are reconstructed. From this sample, the first measurement of the Ξ0b baryon lifetime is made, r...

Sumario:Using a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb−1 collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, about 3800 Ξ0b→Ξ+cπ−, Ξ+c→pK−π+ signal decays are reconstructed. From this sample, the first measurement of the Ξ0b baryon lifetime is made, relative to that of the Λ0b baryon. The mass differences M(Ξ0b)−M(Λ0b) and M(Ξ+c)−M(Λ+c) are also measured with precision more than 4 times better than the current world averages. The resulting values are
