By considering the Λ0 b → Λþ c D¯ 0K− decay as reference channel, the following branching fraction ratios are measured to be BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ BðΛ0 b→Λþ c D¯ 0K−Þ ¼ 0.282 0.016 0.016 0.005, BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ ¼ 0.460 0.052 0.028, BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ ¼ 2.261 0.202 0.129 0.046, BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ BðΛ0 b→Σþþ c D−K−Þ ¼ 0.896 0.137 0.066 0.018, where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, and the third are due to uncertainties in the branching fractions of intermediate particle decays. These initial observations mark the beginning of pentaquark searches in these modes, with more datasets to become available following the LHCb upgrade.13 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2024Física de partículesInteraccions fortes (Física nuclear)Cromodinàmica quànticaParticle physicsStrong interactions (Nuclear physics)Quantum chromodynamicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7564482025-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
