Abstract

The Cabibbo-suppressed semileptonic decay B+ → p anti-p μ+ νμ is observed for the first time using a sample of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0 and 1.7 fb^−1 at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, respectively. The differential branching fraction is measured as a function of the p anti-p invariant mass using the decay mode B+ → J/ψ K+ for normalisation. The total branching fraction is measured to be B(B+ → p anti-p μ+ νμ) = (5.27{−0.24}{+0.23} ± 0.21 ± 0.15) × 10^−6, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is from the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the normalisation channel.
