Abstract:
A search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay Λ+c→pμ+μ− is reported using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 collected by the LHCb Collaboration. No significant signal is observed outside of the dimuon mass regions around the ϕ and ω resonances, and an upper limit is placed on the branching fraction of B(Λ+c→pμ+μ−)<7.7(9.6)×10−8 at 90%(95%) confidence level. A significant signal is observed in the ω dimuon mass region for the first time.Received 21 December 2017DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.97.091101Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
