In an experiment at the CERN intersecting storage rings with √ s = 31 GeV, we have measured αP , the product of asymmetry parameter and polarization, for Λ 0 's and Λ 0 's produced in p p and pp interactions, respectively. The ratio, (αP) Λ /(αP Λ = −1.04±0.29 , is consistent with the value −1, and constitutes the first test of CP invariance in Λ decay.
The ratio CONST/CONST is obtained under assumption of POL(LAMBDA) = POL(LAMBDABAR).
We report results of an inclusive measurement of the charmed baryon, Λ c , in the forward direction of proton-proton interactions with s =63 GeV . The signal, seen in the final state Λ s π + π + π − , has 6.0 σ significance with about 620 events on a large background and corresponds to a cross section times branching ratio of 2.84±0.50±0.72 μ b for Feynman- x F > 0.5 in both hemispheres. Asymmetries are observed in the decay angular distributions which are characteristic of weak decays and have a combined 3.0 σ significance.
BR. RATIO WAS TAKEN TO BE 0.028+-0.007+-0.011.
