Decay event of a doubly charmed cascade particle, reconstructed from tracks of its decay products. The Ξ+cc is formed in a collision of a Σ- with a target (red area) and then decays: Ξcc+→Λc+K-π+, Λc+→pK-π+. 16 such events over the expected background are reported; if confirmed, this would be the first observation of a doubly charmed baryon.
