Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 22–25 (1987)Evidence for charmed baryons in B-meson decayReceived 28 April 1987; published in the issue dated 6 July 1987 We report on new measurements of the Λ and proton branching fractions and momentum spectra from B-meson decay. The large Λ-to-p ratio, the absence of B→ΛΛ¯X, and the presence of Λ-lepton charge correlations suggest that charmed baryons are produced in B decay. Under the assumption that all of the observed baryons are associated with charmed-baryon production, we find a B–to–charmed-baryon branching fraction of (7.4±2.9)%. © 1987 The American Physical Society URL:
