Study of the decays Λc+Ξ0K+, Λc+Σ+K+K, and Λc+ΞK+π+

Abstract
We report the measurement of new modes of the charmed baryon Λc+ using data recorded by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We find branching ratios, relative to Λc+pK π+, of 0.070±0.011±0.011 for Λc+Σ+ K+ K, 0.069±0.023±0.016 for Λc+→Σφ, 0.078±0.013±0.013 for Λc+Ξ0 K+, and 0.053±0.016±0.010 for Λc+Ξ*0 K+. These measurements indicate that W-exchange diagrams contribute to Λc+ decay. We have also made a new measurement of the previously found mode Λc+Ξ K+ π+.
