Abstrakt: In this paper we study the inclusive production of the charmed baryon Λc+ in interactions of 40–70 GeV/c neutrons with protons of hydrogen target. The experiment has been performed with the use of magnetic spectrometer BIS-2 located in the neutron beam of Serpukhov accelerator. The signal of Λc+ is observed in the effective mass spectra of Λ°π+π+π. After the removal of interactions occurring on the container of liquid hydrogen, the signal consists of 14 combinations corresponding to ≈4 standard deviations of background. Its mean value is 2262 MeV/c2, width of the bin containing signal is 20 MeV/c2. On the basis of this signal we determine the value of cross section of Λc+ production times the branching ratio of its observed decay modeσ. Br (Λc+ → Λ°π+π+π)=0·26±0·11 μb in the kinematic region ofxF>0·5 andpT<1 GeV/c.
