Abstract: | A search for CP violation in the decay Λ0b → pK − μ + μ − is presented. This decay is mediated by flavour-changing neutral-current transitions in the Standard Model and is potentially sensitive to new sources of CP violation. The study is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions recorded with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. The Λ0b → pK − μ + μ − decay is observed for the first time, and two observables that are sensitive to different manifestations of CP violation are measured, ΔACP≡ACP(Λ0b→pK−μ+μ−)−ACP(Λ0b→pK−J/ψ) and a aTˆ-oddCP, where the latter is based on asymmetries in the angle between the μ + μ − and pK − decay planes. |
