First evidence for the two-body charmless baryonic decay B0→pp¯¯¯

The results of a search for the rare two-body charmless baryonic decays B0→pp¯¯¯ and B0s→pp¯¯¯ are reported. The analysis uses a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.9 fb−1, of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. An excess of...
