In a data sample of four million hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, four Lambda(b) baryon candidates are exclusively reconstructed in the Lambda(b) --> Lambda(c)(+) pi(-) channel, with the Lambda(c)(+) decaying into pK(-) pi(+), or Lambda pi(+) pi(+) pi(-). The probability of the observed signal to be due to a background fluctuation is estimated to be 4.2 x 10(-4). The mass of the Lambda(b) is measured to be 5614 +/- 21 (stat.) +/- 4 (syst.) MeV/c(2).

Abstract

In a data sample of four million hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, four Lambda(b) baryon candidates are exclusively reconstructed in the Lambda(b) --> Lambda(c)(+) pi(-) channel, with the Lambda(c)(+) decaying into pK(-) pi(+), or Lambda pi(+) pi(+) pi(-). The probability of the observed signal to be due to a background fluctuation is estimated to be 4.2 x 10(-4). The mass of the Lambda(b) is measured to be 5614 +/- 21 (stat.) +/- 4 (syst.) MeV/c(2).
