摘要A first search for theΞbc+J/ψΞc+decay is performed by the LHCb experiment with a data sample of proton-proton collisions,corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 recorded at centre-of-mass energies of 7,8,and 13 TeV.Two peaking structures are seen with a local(global)significance of 4.3(2.8)and 4.1(2.4)standard deviations at masses of 6571 and 6694 MeV/c2,respectively.Upper limits are set on theΞ+bc baryon production cross-section times the branching fraction relative to that of the B+c→J/ψD+s decay at centre-of-mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV,in theΞ+bc and in the B+c rapidity and transverse-momentum ranges from 2.0 to 4.5 and 0 to 20GeV/c,respectively.Upper limits are presented as a function of theΞ+bc mass and lifetime.
摘要A search for the rare decays W+→Ds+γand Z→D0γis performed using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV,corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0fb−1.No significant signal is observed for either decay mode and upper limits on their branching fractions are set using W+→Ds+γand Z→μ+μ−decays as normalization channels.The upper limits are 6.5×10−4and 2.1×10−3at 95%confidence level for the W+→Ds+γand Z→D0γdecay modes,respectively.This is the first reported search for the Z→D0γdecay,while the upper limit on the W+→D+sγbranching fraction improves upon the previous best limit.
