I. INTRODUCTION

In the naive spectator model, mostB mesons decaythrough the spectator diagram with semileptonic decays

curring by ‘‘external’’ W-emission:b→cW; W→l n l . Inthis picture, charmed baryon production occurs when tquark-antiquark pairs from the vacuum bind with the chaquark and the spectator antiquark to form aLc

1(cud) plus an

antinucleonN. In this paper we attempt to isolate the manitude of this externalW-emission spectator diagram icharmed baryon decays by measuringB→Lc

1e2X and

B2→Lc1pe2ne . For normalization modes, we also measu

B→Lc1pX and B→(Lc

1 or Lc2)X. Throughout this pape

charged conjugate modes are implicit.If B→baryons does indeed occur through exter

W-emission as outlined above, then the decB→Lc

tude of R5B(B→Lc1Ne2n l )/B(B→Lc

rable to the measurements ofB(B→DXe2ne)/B(B→DX).12% @2#.

There are two other baryon production mechanisms inBdecay, neither making a contribution to semileptonic decIn one, theW is emitted internally and decays to (cs), lead-ing to JcLc final states.

internal emission of aW followed by its decay to (ud).Measurements ofB mesons decaying hadronically tcharmed baryons indicate that this internalW-emission dia-gram may contribute significantly@4#. A substantial contri-bution from this diagram would reduce the semileptonic dcay width.

The semileptonic branching ratio ofB mesons is knownto have a lower value than theoretical predictions@5#. Thesepredictions assume a large externalW-emission contributionin baryon decays. The suggestion has been made that thmay underestimate theB-hadronic width by neglectingBdecay channels to baryon states@6#. If this is the case, hadronic decays to charmed baryons could explain the lowclusive semileptonic branching ratio. The measuremensemileptonic decays ofB mesons toLc will provide vitalinformation on baryon production inB decays.

A. Data sample and event selection

The data were taken with the CLEO II detector@7# at theCornell Electron Storage Ring~CESR!, and consist of3.2 fb21 on theY(4S) resonance and 1.6 fb21 at a center-of-mass energy 60 MeV below the resonance. The on-resonsample contains 3.43106 BB events and 103106 continuumevents. We select hadronic events containing at leascharged tracks. To suppress continuum background, wequire the ratio of Fox-Wolfram moments@8# R25H2 /H0 tosatisfy R2<0.35. We reconstructLc’s in the pKp decaymode. For the hadronic particle identification, a probabilcut for each target hadron is made which uses informaobtained fromdE/dx and time-of-flight detectors. For particle consistency, the probability cuts are chosen togreater than 0.0027~within three standard deviations of thexpected value! for pions, 0.0001 for kaons, and 0.0003 fprotons. Continuum data are used to directly subtract bagrounds from non-BB events.

ing by the efficiency, we find a yield of 1355268226802events, where the second~systematic! error includes contri-butions from the efficiency correction.

B. Study of B˜Lc1e2X

Because of the soft lepton momentum spectrum fromdecay and the limited reconstruction efficiency for low mmentum muons, we use only electrons in our analysis. Etron identification relies onE/p measurements derived fromthe calorimeter and drift chamber, as well as specific ionition loss measurements from the drift chamber. The requment of ln(Pe/Pe”).3.0 is imposed, wherePe(Pe”) is the

probability that a given charged track is an electron~not anelectron!. We choose a minimum momentum cutoff o0.6 GeV/c for these electrons to limit fake and secondaelectron background sources. The maximum possible etron momentum for this decay is 1.5 GeV/c. Electron candi-dates are restricted to the polar angular regionucosuu<0.71. We pair allpK2p1 candidates, selected as describabove, with additional tracks in the events passing the lepidentification requirement. We then fit thepK2p1 invariantmass distributions on and off resonance for combinatipassing these cuts.

Figure 1~a! shows the fit to thepK2p1 invariant massdistribution for events that satisfy the above selection crria. The resonance data~points! are fit to a double Gaussiasignal over a second order polynomial background. Thenal shape is fixed to that from the data in theB→Lc

1Xanalysis. A similar fit has been performed on thepK2p1

invariant mass distribution from the continuum data~shownby the scaled histogram in the figure!. The yields are given inTable I.

In addition to continuumLc’s, other sources of background are fake leptons and uncorrelatedLc

12e2 pairs. Thenumber of fake leptons is obtained by running the saanalysis, but using an electron anti-identification criterioln(Pe/Pe”),0. The pK2p1 invariant mass is refit and thiyield is scaled by the measured lepton misidentificatprobabilities. The uncorrelated background includes comnations where theLc

B2→Lc1pe2ne , where the electron is prompt from theB

decay, is found to be 17%. Monte Carlo events from

chain B0→Lc1D0e2ne , D0→ pp1 were also generated t

measure the efficiency. This mode adds one extra pion tototal decay chain although more could be present in o

decays such asB→ScDen. Differences between efficiencie

for B2 andB0 are found to be negligible. After all other cutwe find that 73% of the events fromB2→Lc

1pe2ne passour electron momentum cut while only 45% of the evefrom B0→Lc

1D0e2ne pass. Because the total efficiencydependent on the number of pions in the final state,choose to quote a partial branching fraction where the lepmomentum is greater than 0.6 GeV/c. In this electron mo-mentum range, the efficiency forB→Lc

1pe2ne is0.23960.005 which is consistent with the efficiency foother modes with extra pions. In addition to assigning a stematic error due to efficiency determination, we addquadrature errors from the fake lepton and uncorrelabackground source estimates to obtain the total systemerror.

C. Search for B2˜Lc

1pe2ne

The signature ofB2→Lc1pe2ne is a baryon-lepton-

antiproton combination which has a recoil mass consiswith that of a neutrino, approximating theB momentum aszero. CandidateLc

1’s, electrons, and antiprotons for thanalysis must satisfy requirements similar to those discusabove. We then require that the approximation of the squamass of the neutrino, M n

2[(Ebeam2ELc2Ee)

22(pLc

1pe)2, be greater than22(GeV/c2)2. In addition, we place

an angular cut of cosuLc-e,20.2, whereuLc-e is the angle

between theLc1 and electron. In Fig. 1~b! we show theLc

1

invariant mass distribution for combinations passing allthese cuts. This distribution is fit as before; results are giin Table I.

Backgrounds to this process stem from three sources:antiprotons or electrons, non-BB events, and secondary eletrons or antiprotons. Fake antiprotons and electrons aresidered separately. We use the same methods as descabove to determine each contribution. The continuum baground is measured using the off-resonance data scaleluminosity and cross section. The remaining backgrouevents, in which electrons come from the decay chb→ c→ sen, can be estimated using a Monte Carlo simution. The wrong sign data and Monte Carlo results are copared and again found to agree well.

We find efficiency using theB2→Lc1pe2ne Monte

Carlo events where theB1 decays generically. The efficiency is found to be 0.09460.003. Systematic errors arassigned for each of the background source estimates anefficiency determination as described above.

D. Study of B˜Lc1pX

We pair allLc1 and p candidates using theLc

as described above. For thep, in addition to the cut on theproton probability of greater than 0.0003, we employ ad

tional veto cuts on the particle identification of 2s for thep,K, and electron to reduce fake antiprotons. We then fitLc

1 invariant mass. The observedLc1 signal area then mea

sures the number ofLc12 p correlations. Figure 2 shows th

fit to the data.We are looking for decays where theLc

1 and p haveopposite charge and both are primary from theB decay.Backgrounds are categorized into two sources: secondap

~not primary from aB decay! and fakep. The first back-ground source is estimated by usingB→Lc

1X Monte Carloevents as above. Once again we check this procedurecomparing wrong sign data yields to our Monte Carlo wrosign prediction. Proton misidentification probabilities aalso measured directly from the data by using a pion samfrom KS

0→p1p2 where KS0’s are selected by a seconda

vertex finder. After applying the veto cuts for kaons, pionand electrons, the fake probability derived from just usithe pion rate is found to be consistent with the species aaged rate. The background contribution of fakep’s is ob-tained by running the same analysis without the partiidentification cuts for thep correlated withLc

1 . The yieldsobtained from fits to thepK2p1 mass are then multiplied bythe fakingp probabilities and weighted by momentum. Thprocedure will yield an upper limit on the number of fakeas real proton tracks are double counted in our procedWe studied the overcounting rate and assign a systemerror based on the difference between the number of procounted with no identification criteria and the numbcounted using the anti-identification criteria.

We have also measured the absolute proton identificaefficiency as a function of momentum for the cuts in thanalysis using a sample ofL→pp2 events. The differencesin the identification efficiencies between the data and MoCarlo prediction are then used to calculate the system
