Observation of the doubly charmed baryon decay $ {\varXi}_{cc}^{++}\to {\varXi}_c^{\prime +}{\pi}^{+} $

The $\it{\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to \Xi_{c}^{'+}\pi^{+}}$ decay is observed using proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $13\mathrm{\,Te\kern -0.1em V}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The $\it{\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to \Xi_{c}^{'+}\pi^{+}}$ decay is reconstructed partially, where the photon from the $\it{\Xi_{c}^{'+} \to \Xi_{c}^{+}\gamma}$ decay is not reconstructed and the $pK^-\pi^+$ final state of the $\it{\Xi_{c}^{+}}$ baryon is employed. The $\it{\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to \Xi_{c}^{'+}\pi^{+}}$ branching fraction relative to that of the $\it{\Xi_{cc}^{++}\to \Xi_{c}^{+}\pi^{+}}$ decay is measured to be $1.41 \pm 0.17 \pm 0.10$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
