Abstract

Forty Ω- events have been observed in a large (133 events/βb) experiment at 4.2 GeV/c incident K̅ momentum. Thirty nine of the events come from the three-body reaction K̅P→Ω̅K+K0. The Ω- is mainly produced in the forward hemisphere (direction of the incident K̅). The lifetime is measured to be τ = (0.75 +0.14-0.11 × 10−10 sec substantially less than the Particle Data Group value of (1.3 −0.3+0.2) × 10−10 sec. The mass is determined to be 1671.7 ± 0.6 MeV, in good agreement with other determinations. The decay asymmetry parameter α (for the decay mode Ω̅→ΛK̅) is found to be −0.2 ± 0.4.
