Abstract: (Springer)
Using a data sample of 980 fb1^{−1} collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+^{+}e^{−} collider, we study for the first time the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Ωc0Ξπ+ {\Omega}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{\pi}^{+} and Ω^{−}K+^{+} and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ωc0ΞK+ {\Omega}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{K}^{+} . Evidence for an Ωc0 {\Omega}_c^0 signal in the Ωc0 {\Omega}_c^0 → Ξ^{−}π+^{+} mode is reported with a significance of 4.5σ including systematic uncertainties. The ratio of branching fractions to the normalization mode Ωc0 {\Omega}_c^0 → Ω^{−}π+^{+} is measured to beB(Ωc0Ξπ+)/B(Ωc0Ωπ+)=0.253±0.052(stat.)±0.030(syst.). \mathcal{B}\left({\Omega}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\Omega}_c^0\to {\Omega}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)=0.253\pm 0.052\left(\textrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.030\left(\textrm{syst}.\right). No significant signals of Ωc0ΞK+ {\Omega}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{K}^{+} and Ω^{−}K+^{+} modes are found. The upper limits at 90% confidence level on ratios of branching fractions are determined to beB(Ωc0ΞK+)/B(Ωc0Ωπ+)<0.070 \mathcal{B}\left({\Omega}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{K}^{+}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\Omega}_c^0\to {\Omega}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)<0.070 andB(Ωc0ΩK+)/B(Ωc0Ωπ+)<0.29. \mathcal{B}\left({\Omega}_c^0\to {\Omega}^{-}{K}^{+}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\Omega}_c^0\to {\Omega}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)<0.29.
