We measure a branching fraction B(D_s^+ -> p anti-n = (1.30 +- 0.36 +0.12 -0.16) x 10^-3. This is the first observation of a charmed meson decaying into a baryon-antibaryon final state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-04-25T14:45:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.25.Ft" ], "keywords": [ "first observation", "proton anti-neutron", "baryon-antibaryon final state", "cleo-c detector", "production energy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "May", "volume": 100, "number": 18, "pages": 181802 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 780910, "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.100r1802A" } } }
