Abstract: (arXiv)
We present an investigation of the decays and based on decays recorded with the BABAR detector. We measure the branching fractions of these decays/ their ratio is . The process exhibits an enhancement at the threshold and is a laboratory for searches for excited charm baryon states. We observe the resonant decays and but see no evidence for B^- \to \Sigma_{c}(2520)^{0} \baver{p}. This is the first observation of the decay / however, the mass of the observed excited state is , which is somewhat inconsistent with previous measurements. Finally, we examine the angular distribution of the decays and measure the spin of the baryon to be 1/2, as predicted by the quark model.Note:
