摘要
We report the results of the first search for B^- decays to the
Ξ̅_c^0Λ̅_c^- final state using 711 fb^-1
of data collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at
the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. The results are interpreted in
terms of both direct baryon-number-violating B^- decay and
Ξ_c^0-Ξ̅_c^0 oscillations which follow the Standard Model
decay B^- →Ξ_c^0Λ̅_c^-. We observe no evidence for
baryon number violation and set the 95% confidence-level upper limits on the
ratio of baryon-number-violating and Standard Model branching fractions
ℬ(B^- →Ξ̅_c^0Λ̅_c^-)/ℬ(B^- →Ξ_c^0Λ̅_c^-) to be < 2.7% and on the Ξ_c^0 -
Ξ̅_c^0 oscillation angular frequency ω to be < 0.76ps^-1 (equivalent to τ_ mix > 1.3 ps).
