Search for doubly charmed baryons at Belle N-lab Yuji Kato
Hadron physics Higgs particle gives mass of elementary particles. However, it explains only several % of the mass of the matter... Almost of the nucleon mass comes from dynamics of quark and gluon Bound state but mass increased...? Understand these two features simultaneously Confinement of the quark Sub-questions to be answered ・Why “very simple” constituent quark model works so well? ・What is the real degree of freedom to describe a hadron? Only constituent quark is enough?
Heavy baryon spectroscopy in B-factory Heavy quark brings simplicity! C e- c ・A heavy quark behaves like static potential source. →Light “di-quark” with color 3bar and a heavy quark bounded by a string. ・Confirmed to works very well. →Suggesting “di-quark” structure in the baryon. Λc+ u d e+ c Heavy baryon spectroscopy driven by B-factories 16/21 single charmed baryon has was discovered by B-factories ・All the ground states are discovered. ・Many excited states are also discovered.

Past experimental search Evidence from SELEX in 2003 Mass:3519±1.0MeV/c2 B-factories Babar@232fb-1 Belle@461.5fb-1 M(Λc+K-π+) hep-ex/0606051 M(Λc+K-π+) hep-ex/0605075 hep-ex/0208014 ・Evidence by SELEX was not supported by B-factories. ・No established state even for grand state.
Ξcc decay modes Grand state baryon decays via weak interaction. A c-quark transfers to s-quark with W+ emission. Ξcc+(+) is expected to decay into ΛcK-π+(π+) and Ξc0π+(π+) π+ π+ u u d W+ d W+ Ξcc+ Ξcc+ c s K- c s c u c c d u Ξc0 c d d Λc+ d ・Background: inclusive Λc+ or Ξc0 production. ・σ(e+e-→Λc+X)/σ(e+e-→Ξc0X) >~10 ・Belle did not search for decay modes with Ξc0
Belle: The best place for Ξcc search Belle detector cavity e+ source The world highest luminosity! In this study.. ・Use full statistics of Belle data. (2×previous Belle, 4×previous BaBar) ・Decay modes including Ξc0 is also studied. ・Use several sub decays of Λc+ and Ξc0. → About 8 times statistics compared with previous BaBar’s for decay modes with Ξc0.

Reconstruction of Λc+ M(pK-π+) M(pKs) ・Peaks corresponds to Λc+are clearly seen. ・Apply mass constraint on Λc+→Resolution for Ξcc is 2.5-3.5 MeV/c2 ・S/N ratio is comparable.→Combine two decay modes
Result for decay mode with Λc+ M(ΛcK-π+) M(ΛcK-π+π+) Data MC expectation for signal (height is arbitrary) ・The significance from -2sqrt(ln(Lmax/L0)) for whole mass region. →No point exceeds 3σ. ・95 % C.L upper limit of σ(e+e-→ΞccX)×Br(Ξcc→ΛcK-π+(π+)) 4.6-26.0 fb⇔88 fb by Babar ・Theoretical prediction ~1.0-200 fb⇔ 90-520 fb assuming Br=5%
Reconstruction of Ξc0 M(Ξ-π+) M(ΛK-π+) M(pK-K-π+) ・Yield is comparable for 3 modes ・S/N largely depends on the decay mode. →Simultaneous fitting with fixing signal yield gives better sensitivity. However, no measurement on branching ratio
Study of the Ξc+(2645) Ξc0π+ is a strong decay mode of Ξc+(2645) as well as weak decay of Ξcc. →Use yield of Ξc+(2645) to determine signal ratio.

Result:Ξc0π+ Ξ-π+ ΛK-π+ Data MC expectation for signal (height is arbitrary but relative scale is correct) ・No significant signal. ・95% C.L upper limit of σ(e+e-→Ξcc+X)×Br(Ξcc+→Ξc0π+)×Br(Ξc0→Ξ-π+) =0.076-0.26 fb⇔ 1.3 fb by Babar. ・Theoretical prediction ~1.0-200 fb ⇔ 30-104 fb assuming both of Br=5% pK-K-π+
