Abstract

First observations of the decays Λ⁰ _b → Λ_c+D^- _(s) are reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^-1 collected at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energies in proton-proton collisions with the LHCb detector. In addition, the most precise measurement of the branching fraction B(B⁰ _s → D⁺D^- _s) is made and a search is performed for the decays B⁰ _(s) → Λ_c ⁺Λ_c ^-. The results obtained are (Equastion presented) Measurement of the mass of the Λ⁰ _b baryon relative to the B¯⁰ meson gives M(Λ⁰ _b) - M(B¯⁰) = 339.72±0.24(stat) ± 0.18(syst) MeV=c². This result provides the most precise measurement of the mass of the Λ_b ⁰ baryon to date.
