Lifetimes of the charmed particles D+/-, F+/-, and Lambda c+ produced by neutrinos.

1986 
We report final results for the D/sup + -/, F/sup + -/, and ..lambda../sub c//sup +/ lifetimes measured with a hybrid emulsion spectrometer in the wide-band neutrino beam at Fermilab. In total, 3886 neutrino and antineutrino interactions were located in the fiducial volume of the emulsion. From these interactions we have unambiguously identified 6 F/sup + -/ and 13 ..lambda../sub c//sup +/ decays, for which the fitted lifetimes are tau(F/sup + -/) = (2.6/sub -0.9//sup +1.6/) x 10/sup -13/ s and tau(..lambda../sub c//sup +/) = (2.0/sub -0.5//sup +0./ 7) x 10/sup -13/ s. 28 other decays are consistent with a D/sup +/ or D/sup -/ hypothesis. From these events, we obtain a D/sup + -/ lifetime of (11.1/sub -2.9//sup +4.4/) x 10/sup -13/ s.
