The differential branching fraction is measured as a function of the pp¯¯¯ invariant mass using the decay mode B+ → J/ψK+ for normalisation. The total branching fraction is measured to be B(B+→pp¯¯¯μ+νμ)= (5.27+0.23−0.24±0.21±0.15)×10−6, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is from the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the normalisation channel.22 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) LHCb Collaboration et al., 2020https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsFísica de partículesExperimentsHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Particle physicsExperimentsObservation of the semileptonic decay B+→ pp¯ μ+νμinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7105012022-05-04info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
