Abstract

The lifetimes of the Ωc0 and Ξc0 baryons are measured using a pp collision dataset collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^−1. The charm baryons are produced in the fully reconstructed decay chains Ωb− → Ωc0 (→ p K− K− π+) π− and Ξb− → Ξc0 (→ p K− K− π+) π−. The measurement uses topologically and kinematically similar B− → D0 (→ K− K+ π− π+) π− decays for normalisation. The measured lifetimes are τ_Ωc0 = 276.3 ± 19.4(stat) ± 1.8(syst) ± 0.7(τ_D0) fs, τ_Ξc0 = 149.2 ± 2.5(stat) ± 0.9(syst) ± 0.4(τ_D0) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the uncertainty of the D0 lifetime. These results are consistent with previous measurements performed by the LHCb experiment.
