Observation of the decay Λb0→Λc+pp‾π−

The decay Λb0→Λc+pp‾π− is observed using pp collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of s=7 and 8 Tev, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. The ratio of branching fractions between Λb0→Λc+pp‾π− and Λb0→Λc+π− decays is measured to be [Formula presented]=0.0540±0.0023±0.0032. Two resonant structures are observed in the Λc+π− mass spectrum of the Λb0→Λc+pp‾π− decays, corresponding to the Σc(2455)0 and Σc⁎(2520)0 states.

Amplitude Analysis of the Decay B 0 ? KS0 ?+?- and First Observation of the CP Asymmetry in B 0 ?k? (892)-?+

The time-integrated untagged Dalitz plot of the three-body hadronic charmless decay B0?KS0?+?- is studied using a pp collision data sample recorded with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb-1. The decay amplitude is described with an isobar model. Relative contributions of the isobar amplitudes to the B0?KS0?+?- decay branching fraction and CP asymmetries of the flavor-specific amplitudes are measured. The CP asymmetry between the conjugate B0?K?(892)-?+ and B0?K?(892)+?- decay rates is determined to be -0.308±0.062.
