Abstract

The singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(-) K+ pi(+) is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of 5.4 sigma by using 4.5 fb(-1) of e(+) e(-) collision data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.600 and 4.699 GeV with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. The absolute branching fraction of Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(-) K+ pi(+) is measured to be (3.8 +/- 1.2(stat) +/- 0.2(syst)) x 10(-4) in a model-independent approach. This is the first observation of a Cabibbo-suppressed Lambda(+)(c) decay involving Sigma(-) in the final state. The ratio of branching fractions between Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(-) K+ pi(+) and the Cabibbo-favored decay Lambda(+)(c) -> Sigma(-) pi(+) pi(+) is observed to be (0.4 +/- 0.1)s(c)(2), where s(c) equivalent to sin theta(c) = 0.2248 with theta(c) the Cabibbo mixing angle.
