LHCb: Searches for $\Lambda^0_b$ and $\Xi^0_b$ decays to $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ and $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}pK^-$ final states with first observation of the $\Lambda^0_b \rightarrow K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ decay
A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ and $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}pK^-$ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The $\Lambda^0_b \rightarr...

Sumario: | A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ and $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}pK^-$ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The $\Lambda^0_b \rightarrow K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ decay is observed for the first time with a significance of $8.6\,\sigma$, and a measurement is made of the $CP$ asymmetry, which is consistent with zero. No significant signals are seen for $\Lambda^0_b \rightarrow K^0_{\mathrm{S}}pK^-$ decays, $\Xi^0_b$ decays to both $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi^-$ and $K^0_{\mathrm{S}}pK^-$ final states, and the $\Lambda^0_b \rightarrow D^-_s (K^0_{\mathrm{S}}K^-)p decay, and upper limits on their branching fractions are reported. |
