Study of the production of Λb0 and B0 hadrons in pp collisions and first measurement of the Λb0→J/ψpK- branching fraction

  • The product of the Λb0(B0) di erential production cross-section and the branching fraction of the decay Λb0→J/ψpK- (B0→J/ψpK*(892)0) is measured as a function of the beauty hadron transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y. The kinematic region of the measurements is pT <20 GeV/c and 2.0< y< 4.5. The measurements use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies √s= 7 TeV in 2011 and √s= 8 TeV in 2012. Based on previous LHCb results of the fragmentation fraction ratio, fΛb0/fd, the branching fraction of the decay Λb0→J/ψpK- is measured to be
    Bb0→J/ψpK-)=(3.17±0.04±0.07±0.34-0.28+0.45)×10-4,
    where the rst uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the decay B0→J/ψpK*(892)0, and the fourth is due to the knowledge of fΛb0/fd. The sum of the asymmetries in the production and decay between Λb0 and Λb0 is also measured as a function of pT and y. The previously published branching fraction of Λb0→J/ψpπ-, relative to that of Λb0→J/ψpK-, is updated. The branching fractions of Λb0→Pc+(→J/ψp)K- are determined.

Abstract: The product of the Λb0(B0) di erential production cross-section and the branching fraction of the decay Λb0→J/ψpK- (B0→J/ψpK*(892)0) is measured as a function of the beauty hadron transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y. The kinematic region of the measurements is pT <20 GeV/c and 2.0< y< 4.5. The measurements use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies √s= 7 TeV in 2011 and √s= 8 TeV in 2012. Based on previous LHCb results of the fragmentation fraction ratio, fΛb0/fd, the branching fraction of the decay Λb0→J/ψpK- is measured to be
Bb0→J/ψpK-)=(3.17±0.04±0.07±0.34-0.28+0.45)×10-4,
where the rst uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the decay B0→J/ψpK*(892)0, and the fourth is due to the knowledge of fΛb0/fd. The sum of the asymmetries in the production and decay between Λb0 and Λb0 is also measured as a function of pT and y. The previously published branching fraction of Λb0→J/ψpπ-, relative to that of Λb0→J/ψpK-, is updated. The branching fractions of Λb0→Pc+(→J/ψp)K- are determined.
