Measurement of the Absolute Branching Fraction of Lambda(+)(C) -> Pk(S)(0)Eta Decays

Abstract

Based on 586 pb(-1) of e(+) e(-) annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 4.6 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the absolute branching fraction of Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(S)(0)eta decays is measured for the first time to be B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(S)(0)eta) = (0.414 +/- 0.084 +/- 0.028)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The result is compatible with a previous CLEO result on the relative branching fraction B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(S)(eta)(0))/B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(-)pi(+)), and consistent with theoretical predictions of SU(3) flavor symmetry.
