Abstract

Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we report new measurements of the branching fractions for the decays of the charmed baryon Λ_c⁺ into pK^-π⁺π⁰, pK⁰, pK⁰π⁺π^-, and pK⁰π⁰, all measured relative to pK^-π⁺. The relative branching fractions are 0.67±0.04±0.11,0.46±0.02±0.04,0.52±0.04±0.05, and 0.66±0.05±0.07, respectively.
