Abstract

Outstanding vertexing performance and low-background environment are key enablers of a systematic Belle II program targeted at measurements of charm baryon lifetimes. Recent results from measurements of the \(\varLambda _{c}^{+}\) and \(\varOmega _{c}^{0}\) baryon lifetimes are presented. The former result is the most precise to date.
