Evidence for the rare decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$

A search for the rare decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ is performed using $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8 TeV$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 ~ \text {fb}^{-1}$. An excess of events is observed with respect to...

description A search for the rare decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ is performed using $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8 TeV$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 ~ \text {fb}^{-1}$. An excess of events is observed with respect to the background expectations with a signal significance of 4.0 standard deviations. No significant structure is observed in the dimuon invariant mass distribution.
