Measurement of the $Λ_{c}^{+}$ Lifetime

The $Λ_{c}^{+}$ lifetime is measured using 9.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected on or just below the $Υ(4S)$ resonance with the CLEO II.V detector at CESR. Using an unbinned maximum likelihood fit, the $Λ_{c}^{+}$ lifetime is measured to be $(179.6 \pm 6.9(stat.) \pm 4.4(syst.))$ fs. The precision of this colliding beam measurement is comparable to other measurements, which are based on fixed target experiments with different systematic errors.
