They have only been measured at $e^+e^-$ colliders. Here techniques for measuring them at hadron colliders are discussed. The precision determination of $\\Lambda_c^+\\to p K^-\\pi^+$ seems possible with current data, however the corresponding determination of $D_s^+\\to K^+K^-\\pi^+$ will require more integrated luminosity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-06T18:57:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hadron colliders", "current absolute branching fractions", "determining", "current data", "precision determination" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
