Search for the rare decay of charmed baryon Λ+c into the pμ+μ− final state

A search for the nonresonant Λ+𝑐 →𝑝⁢𝜇+⁢𝜇− decay is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1. No evidence for the decay is found in the dimuon invariant-mass regions where t...

Description
Summary:A search for the nonresonant Λ+𝑐 →𝑝⁢𝜇+⁢𝜇− decay is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1. No evidence for the decay is found in the dimuon invariant-mass regions where the expected contributions of resonances is subdominant. The upper limit on the branching fraction of the Λ+𝑐 →𝑝⁢𝜇+⁢𝜇− decay is determined to be 2.9⁢(3.2)×10−8 at 90%(95%) confidence level. The branching fractions in the dimuon invariant-mass regions dominated by the 𝜂, 𝜌 and 𝜔 resonances are also determined.
