Branching fractions of the decays H_b → H_c π− π+ π− relative to H_b → H_c π− are presented, where H_b (H_c) represents anti-B0 (D+), B− (D0), anti-B0s (Ds+), and Λb0 (Λc+). The measurements are performed with the LHCb detector using 35 pb^−1 of data collected at √s = 7 TeV. The ratios of branching fractions are measured to be [B(anti-B0 → D+ π− π+ π−)]/[B(anti-B0 → D+ π−)] = 2.38 ± 0.11 ± 0.21, [B(B− → D0 π− π+ π−)]/[B(B− → D0 π−)] = 1.27 ± 0.06 ± 0.11, [B(anti-B0s → Ds+ π− π+ π−)]/[B(anti-B0s → Ds+ π−)] = 2.01 ± 0.37 ± 0.20, [B(Λb0 → Λc+ π− π+ π−)]/[B(Λb0 → Λc+ π−)] = 1.43 ± 0.16 ± 0.13. We also report measurements of partial decay rates of these decays to excited charm hadrons. These results are of comparable or higher precision than existing measurements.

Abstract
Branching fractions of the decays H_b → H_c π− π+ π− relative to H_b → H_c π− are presented, where H_b (H_c) represents anti-B0 (D+), B− (D0), anti-B0s (Ds+), and Λb0 (Λc+). The measurements are performed with the LHCb detector using 35 pb^−1 of data collected at √s = 7 TeV. The ratios of branching fractions are measured to be [B(anti-B0 → D+ π− π+ π−)]/[B(anti-B0 → D+ π−)] = 2.38 ± 0.11 ± 0.21, [B(B− → D0 π− π+ π−)]/[B(B− → D0 π−)] = 1.27 ± 0.06 ± 0.11, [B(anti-B0s → Ds+ π− π+ π−)]/[B(anti-B0s → Ds+ π−)] = 2.01 ± 0.37 ± 0.20, [B(Λb0 → Λc+ π− π+ π−)]/[B(Λb0 → Λc+ π−)] = 1.43 ± 0.16 ± 0.13. We also report measurements of partial decay rates of these decays to excited charm hadrons. These results are of comparable or higher precision than existing measurements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
