Observation of Bc+ →Dh+h- Decays

Searches are presented for Bc+→Dh+h- decays, where D is a charmed meson and h± is a charged pion or kaon, using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1. The decays Bc+→D+K+π-, Bc+→D∗+K+π-, and Bc+→Ds+K+K- are observed for the first time....
