Abstract

The observation of the decay Ξ_b ⁻→J/ψΛK⁻ is reported, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb⁻¹, collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. The production rate of Ξ_b ⁻ baryons detected in the decay Ξ_b ⁻→J/ψΛK⁻ is measured relative to that of Λ_b ⁰ baryons using the decay Λ_b ⁰→J/ψΛ. Integrated over the b-baryon transverse momentum p_T<25GeV/c and rapidity 2.0<y<4.5, the measured ratio is [Formula presented][Formula presented]=(4.19±0.29 (stat)±0.15 (syst))×10⁻², where f_{Ξ_b ⁻} and f_{Λ_b ⁰} are the fragmentation fractions of b→Ξ_b ⁻ and b→Λ_b ⁰ transitions, and B represents the branching fraction of the corresponding b-baryon decay. The mass difference between Ξ_b ⁻ and Λ_b ⁰ baryons is measured to be M(Ξ_b ⁻)−M(Λ_b ⁰)=177.08±0.47 (stat)±0.16 (syst)MeV/c².
