Abstract

The first observation and study of two new baryonic structures in the final state Ξ_b⁰π⁺π^- and the confirmation of the Ξ_b(6100)^- state in the Ξ_b^-π⁺π^- decay mode are reported using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^-1. In addition, the properties of the known Ξ_b^*0, Ξ_b^'- and Ξ_b^*- resonances are measured with improved precision. The new decay mode of the Ξ_b⁰ baryon to the Ξ_c⁺π^- π⁺ π^- final state is observed and exploited for the first time in these measurements.
