Abstract

Using data samples of 89.5 and $711\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ recorded at energies of $\sqrt{s}=10.52$ and 10.58 GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\ell}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\ell}}$ ($\ensuremath{\ell}=e$ or $\ensuremath{\mu}$) and the $CP$-asymmetry parameter of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ decay. The branching fractions are measured to be $\mathcal{B}({\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{e}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e})=(1.31\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.38)%$ and $\mathcal{B}({\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}})=(1.27\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.06\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.10\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.37)%$, and the decay parameter ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}\ensuremath{\pi}}$ is measured to be $0.63\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.01$ with much improved precision compared with the current world average. The corresponding ratio $\mathcal{B}({\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{e}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e})/\mathcal{B}({\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}})$ is $1.03\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07$, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter ${\mathcal{A}}_{CP}=({\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}}+{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{{\overline{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}})/({\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}}\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{{\overline{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}})=0.024\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.052\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.014$ is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{c}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ branching fraction.
