Abstract

Using data samples of 89.5 and 711 fb(-1) recorded at energies of root S = 10.52 and 10.58 GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays Xi(0)(c) -> Xi l(+)nu(l) (l = e or mu) and the CP-asymmetry parameter of Xi(0)(c) -> Xi(-)pi(+) decay. The branching fractions are measured to be B(Xi(0 )(c)-> Xi(-)e(+)nu(e)) = (1.31 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.38)% and B(Xi(0)(c) -> Xi(-)mu(+)nu(mu)) = (1.27 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.37)%, and the decay parameter alpha(Xi pi) is measured to be 0.63 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.01 with much improved precision compared with the current world average. The corresponding ratio B(Xi(0)(c) -> Xi(-)e(+)nu(e))/B(Xi(0)(c) -> Xi(-)mu(+)nu(mu)) is 1.03 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.07, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter A(CP) = (alpha(Xi-pi+) + alpha((Xi) over bar+pi-))/(alpha(Xi-pi+) - alpha((Xi) over bar+pi-))( )= 0.024 +/- 0.052 +/- 0.014 is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the Xi(0)(c) -> Xi(-)pi(+) branching fraction.
