Measurement of branching fractions of Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$ decays to Σ+K+K − , Σ+ ϕ and Σ+K+ π − (π 0)

Abstract Based on 4.5 fb −1 data taken at seven center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.600 to 4.699 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we measure the branching fractions of Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ + hadrons relative to Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ π + π − . Combining with the world average branching fraction of Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ π + π − , their branching fractions are measured to be (0.377 ± 0.042 ± 0.020 ± 0.021)% for Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ K + K − , (0.200 ± 0.023 ± 0.011 ± 0.011)% for Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ K + π − , (0.414 ± 0.080 ± 0.030 ± 0.023)% for Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ ϕ and (0.197 ± 0.036 ± 0.009 ± 0.011)% for Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ K + K − (non-ϕ). In all the above results, the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic and the third are from external input of the branching fraction of Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ π + π − . Since no signal for Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+} $$ → Σ+ K + π − π 0 is observed, the upper limit of its branching fraction is determined to be 0.13% at the 90% confidence level.
