Measurements of the branching fractions of $\Lambda_{c}^{+} \rightarrow p \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$, $\Lambda_{c}^{+} \rightarrow p K^{-} K^{+}$, and $\Lambda_{c}^{+} \rightarrow p \pi^{-} K^{+}$

The ratios of the branching fractions of the decays Λ$_{c}^{+}$ → pπ$^{−}$π$^{+}$, Λ$_{c}^{+}$ → pK$^{−}$K$^{+}$, and Λ$_{c}^{+}$ → pπ$^{−}$K$^{+}$ with respect to the Cabibbo-favoured Λ$_{c}^{+}$ → pK$^{−}$π$^{+}$ decay are measured using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{−1}$: $ \begin{array}{l}\frac{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{\pi}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)}{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)}=\left(7.44\pm 0.08\pm 0.18\right)\%,\hfill \\ {}\frac{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{K}^{+}\right)}{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)}=\left(1.70\pm 0.03\pm 0.03\right)\%\hfill \\ {}\frac{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{\pi}^{-}{K}^{+}\right)}{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)}=\left(0.165\pm 0.015\pm 0.005\right)\%,\hfill \end{array} $ where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These results are the most precise measurements of these quantities to date. When multiplied by the world-average value for $ \mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right) $ , the corresponding branching fractions are $ \begin{array}{l}\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{\pi}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)=\left(4.72\pm 0.05\pm 0.11\pm 0.25\right)\times {10}^{-3},\hfill \\ {}\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{K}^{+}\right)=\left(1.08\pm 0.02\pm 0.02\pm 0.06\right)\times {10}^{-3},\hfill \\ {}\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{\pi}^{-}{K}^{+}\right)=\left(1.04\pm 0.09\pm 0.03\pm 0.05\right)\times {10}^{-4},\hfill \end{array} $ where the final uncertainty is due to $ \mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varLambda}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right) $ .
