Abstract

The decay B− → Λc+ anti-Λc− K− is studied in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb^−1 collected by the LHCb experiment. In the Λc+ K− system, the Ξc(2930)0 state observed at the BABAR and Belle experiments is resolved into two narrower states, Ξc(2923)0 and Ξc(2939)0, whose masses and widths are measured to be m(Ξc(2923)0) = 2924.5 ± 0.4 ± 1.1 MeV, m(Ξc(2939)0) = 2938.5 ± 0.9 ± 2.3 MeV, Γ(Ξc(2923)0) = 4.8 ± 0.9 ± 1.5 MeV, Γ(Ξc(2939)0) = 11.0 ± 1.9 ± 7.5 MeV , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results are consistent with a previous LHCb measurement using a prompt Λc+ K− sample. Evidence of a new Ξc(2880)0 state is found with a local significance of 3.8 σ , whose mass and width are measured to be 2881.8 ± 3.1 ± 8.5 MeV and 12.4 ± 5.3 ± 5.8 MeV, respectively. In addition, evidence of a new decay mode Ξc(2790)0 → Λc+ K− is found with a significance of 3.7 σ. The relative branching fraction of B− → Λc+ anti-Λc− K− with respect to the B− → D+ D− K− decay is measured to be 2.36 ± 0.11 ± 0.22 ± 0.25, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third originates from the branching fractions of charm hadron decays.
