Abstract: (arXiv)
Using 13.7 fb^{-1} of data recorded by the CLEO detector at CESR, we investigate the spectrum of charmed baryons which decay into Lambda_c^+ pi^- pi^+ and are more massive than the Lambda_{c1} baryons. We find evidence for two new states: one is broad and has an invariant mass roughly 480 MeV above that of the Lambda_c^+; the other is narrow with an invariant mass of 596 +- 1 +- 2 MeV above the Lambda_c^+ mass. These results are preliminary.

  • electron positron: colliding beams
  • electron positron: annihilation
  • charmed baryon: electroproduction
  • charmed baryon: hadronic decay
  • Lambda/c+: excited state
  • final state: (Lambda/c+ pi+ pi-)
