Measurement of branching fractions of $$Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow etaLambdapi^{+}$$, $$eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+}$$, $$Lambda(1670) pi^{+}$$, and $$eta Sigma(1385)^{+}$$

We report branching fraction measurements of four decay modes of the $$Lambda_{c}^{+}$$ baryon, each of which includes an $$eta$$ meson and a $$Lambda$$ baryon in the final state, and all of which are measured relative to the $$Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+}$$ decay mode. The results are based on a $$980~mathrm{fb^{-1}}$$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $$e^{+}e^{-}$$ collider. Two decays, $$eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+}$$ and $$Lambda(1670) pi^{+}$$, are observed for the first time, while the measurements of the other decay modes, $$Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow etaLambdapi^{+}$$ and $$etaSigma(1385)^{+}$$, are more precise than those made previously. We obtain $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Lambda pi^{+})$$/$$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$$ = $$0.293 pm 0.003 pm 0.014$$, $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Sigma^{0} pi^{+})$$/$$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$$ = $$0.120 pm 0.006 pm 0.006$$, $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow Lambda(1670) pi^{+}) times mathcal{B}(Lambda(1670) rightarrow etaLambda) $$/$$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-} pi^{+})$$ = $$(5.54 pm 0.29 pm 0.73) times 10^{-2}$$, and $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow eta Sigma(1385)^{+}) $$/$$mathcal{B}(Lambda_{c}^{+} rightarrow p K^{-}pi^{+})$$ = $$0.192 pm 0.006 pm 0.016$$. The mass and width of the $$Lambda(1670)$$ are also precisely determined to be $$1674.3 pm 0.8 pm 4.9~{rm MeV}/c^{2}$$ and $$36.1 pm 2.4 pm 4.8~{rm MeV}$$, respectively, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
