Beams: e+ e-
Beam energies: (3.5, 8.0); (3.5, 7.9) GeV
Run details:
  • $e^+ e^-$ analysis on the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, with CoM boosts of 8.0 GeV ($e^-$) and 3.5 GeV ($e^+$)

Analysis of $\Xi_c^0$ production in B decays and from the $c\bar{c}$ continuum, with the $\Xi_c^0$ decaying into $\Omega^- K^+$ and $\Xi^- \pi^+$ final states measured using 116.1 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the BABAR detector. The normalisation of the data as been modified from that presented in the original paper in order to produce a differential cross section rather than the cross section in each bin. In addition to the data presented in the paper plots are alos made with unit normalisation which can be more useful for Monte Carlo tuning.
