Final result:


\begin{displaymath}
\frac{ BR(D^+ \rightarrow K\pi\pi) }{ BR(\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow pK\pi) } = 1.84 \pm 0.493
\end{displaymath} (5)


\begin{displaymath}
{ N_{\Lambda_b} }= 214 \pm 19(stat.)
\end{displaymath} (6)


\begin{displaymath}
{ N_{\bar{B}^0} } = 790 \pm 32(stat.)
\end{displaymath} (7)


\begin{displaymath}
\frac{ N_{\Lambda_b} }{ N_{\bar{B}^0} } = 0.27 \pm 0.03(stat.)
\end{displaymath} (8)


\begin{displaymath}
\frac{ \epsilon_{\bar{B}^0} }{ \epsilon_{\Lambda_b} } = 1.65
\end{displaymath} (9)

The CDF systematic errors (including the statistical error on the ratio of reconstruction efficiencies) combine to give: $+13.6\%$, $-13.3\%$.

Putting together Eqs. (5), (8) and (9), one obtains

\begin{displaymath}
\frac{ \sigma_{\Lambda^{0}_{b}}(p_T > 6)}{ \sigma_{\overline...
...0.08\mbox{ (stat)} \pm 0.11\mbox{ (syst)} \pm 0.22\mbox{ (BR)}
\end{displaymath} (10)

where the final source of error is due to the uncertainty on the $\Lambda^{+}_{c}\rightarrow pK\pi$ branching ratio.

For comparison, making the assumption that:


\begin{displaymath}
\frac{f_{\Lambda_b}}{f_d} \sim \frac{ \sigma_{\Lambda^{0}_{b}}(p_T > 6)}{ \sigma_{\overline{B^{0}}}(p_T > 6)}
\end{displaymath} (11)

and using the 2004 PDG fragmentation ratio $f_{baryon}/f_{d} = 0.249 \pm 0.043$ is used to extract relative braching ratio

\begin{displaymath}
\frac{ BR(\Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda_c^+\pi^-) }
{ BR(\ba...

\end{displaymath} (12)
