Observation of Excited Charmed Baryon States Decaying toΛc+π+π

Abstract
Using data collected by the CLEO II detector, we have observed two states decaying to Λc+π+π. Relative to the Λc+, their mass splittings are measured to be +307.5±0.4±1.0 and +342.2±0.2±0.5MeV/c2, respectively; this represents the first measurement of the less massive state. These two states are consistent with being orbitally excited, isospin zero Λc+ states.
