Using the CLEO II detector at CESR we observe 500 Λl+ pairs consistent with the semileptonic decay Λc+ → λ+ν We measure σ(e+e−→ Λ+cX) · B(Λ+c→ Λl+νl) = 4.77±0.25±0.66pb. Combining with the charm semileptonic width and the lifetime of the Λc we also obtain B(Λ+c → pK−π+). We find no evidence for Λl+ν...
