The analysis is based on a data sample of p p collisions collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1     fb − 1 taken at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and 2     fb − 1 taken at 8 TeV. The decay B + c → B 0 s π + is observed with significance in excess of 5 standard deviations independently in both decay channels. The measured product of the ratio of cross sections and branching fraction is [ σ ( B + c ) / σ ( B 0 s ) ] × B ( B + c → B 0 s π + ) = [ 2.37 ± 0.31   ( stat ) ± 0.11   ( syst ) + 0.17 − 0.13 ( τ B + c ) ] × 10 − 3 , in the pseudorapidity range 2 < η ( B ) < 5 , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainty on the B + c lifetime. This is the first observation of a B meson decaying to another B meson via the weak interaction.9 p.application/pdfengcc by (c) CERN; LHCb Collaboration, 2013http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/Física de partículesExperimentsParticle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6316502019-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
