Inclusive production of the charmed baryon Λ_{c}^{+} from e^{+}e^{-} annihilations at sqrt[s]=10.55 GeV

We report results on inclusive production of the charmed baryon LAMBDA-c+ from e+e- annihilations at square-root s = 10.5 GeV. Measurements are presented of the inclusive cross section times branching fraction for the continuum production of LAMBDA-c+ as observed in six different decay modes, and of a new, improved value of the LAMBDA-c+ mass. The inclusive cross section times the branching fraction into pK-pi+ is measured to be 10.0 +/- 1.5 +/- 1.5 pb summed over all x(p). The branching fractions of LAMBDA-c+ into pKBAR0, pKBAR0-pi+pi-, LAMBDA-pi+, LAMBDA-pi+pi-pi+, and XI-K+pi+ relative to that into pK-pi+ are measured to be 0.44 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.05, 0.43 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.04, 0.18 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.03, 0.65 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.12, and 0.15 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.03, respectively. The LAMBDA-c+ mass is measured to be 2284.7 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.7 MeV/c2. The measured momentum distributions for continuum production of LAMBDA-c+ are compared to analytical fragmentation functions and to other measurements.
