/ Abstract
The singly Cabibbo suppressed decay $Λ^{+}_{c}\to pη^{\prime}$ is measured using 4.5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.600 and 4.699 GeV with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. Evidence for $Λ^{+}_{c}\to pη^{\prime}$ with a statistical significance of $3.6σ$ is reported with a double-tag approach. The $Λ^{+}_{c}\to pη^{\prime}$ absolute branching fraction is determined to be $(5.62^{+2.46}_{-2.04} \pm 0.26)\times 10^{-4}$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Our result is consistent with the branching fraction obtained by the Belle collaboration within the uncertainty of $1σ$.
