Description
Summary:The Λ0b→ D+D−Λ decay is observed for the first time using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb−1. Using the B0 → D+D-K0S decay as a reference channel, the product of the relative production cross-section and decay branching fractions is measured to be R = σΛ0bσB0×B(Λ0b → D+D−Λ)B(B0 → D+D−K0S) = 0.179 ± 0.022 ± 0.014 , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The known branching fraction of the reference channel, B(B0 → D+D−K0S), and the cross-section ratio, σΛ0 b /σB0 , previously measured by LHCb are used to derive the branching fraction of the Λ0 b → D+D−Λ decay B(Λ0b → D+D−Λ) = (1.24 ± 0.15 ± 0.10 ± 0.28 ± 0.11) × 10−4 , where the third and fourth contributions are due to uncertainties of B(B0 → D+D−K0S) and σΛ0b /σB0 , respectively. Inspection of the D+Λ and D+D− invariant-mass distributions suggests a rich presence of intermediate resonances in the decay. The Λ0b → D∗+D−Λ decay is also observed for the first time as a partially reconstructed component in the D+D−Λ invariant mass spectrum.
