The Charmed Baryons
Charmed baryons consist of a heavy c
quark and a light diquark
 Many JP states
To date, all L=0 states seen except
*c and  0

diquark
antisymmetric
under SU(3)
None of the JP quantum numbers has
been measured!

CLEO
Event Selection and Background Suppression
Principles
  candidates are reconstructed in the CsI calorimeter barrel
0
region


 p, K ,  candidates are identified using time-of-flight and dE/dx
info
 Displaced vertices are used to identify ,   ,   ,   ,  
candidates
 Scaled Momentum criterion: xp > 0.5 or 0.6, where xp  p/pmax
and pmax  Ebeam  Mcand.
reduces combinatorial background
Note: charmed baryons with B-meson parents have xp < 0.4
