Searches for $Λ_{b}^{0}$ and $Ξ_{b}^{0}$ decays to $K_{\mathrm S}^{0}pπ^{-}$ and $K_{\mathrm S}^{0}pK^{-}$ final states with the first observation of the $Λ_{b}^{0} \to K_{S}^{0}pπ^{-}$ decay
Abstract: A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi-$ and $K0_{\mathrm{S}}pK-$ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,\mathrm{fb}{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The $\Lambda0_b \rightarrow K0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi-$ decay is observed for the first time with a significance of $8.6\,\sigma$, and a measurement is made of the $CP$ asymmetry, which is consistent with zero. No significant signals are seen for $\Lambda0_b \rightarrow K0_{\mathrm{S}}pK-$ decays, $\Xi0_b$ decays to both $K0_{\mathrm{S}}p\pi-$ and $K0_{\mathrm{S}}pK-$ final states, and the $\Lambda0_b \rightarrow D-_s (K0_{\mathrm{S}}K-)p$ decay, and upper limits on their branching fractions are reported.
