Search for the doubly charmed baryon ${\Xi }_{cc}^{+}$

Abstract

A search for the doubly charmed baryon ${\Xi }_{cc}^{+}$ is performed through its decay to the ${\Lambda }_c^{+}{K}^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ final state, using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13$\mathrm{Te}\mathrm{V}$. The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity of $9{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$. No significant signal is observed in the mass range from 3.4 to 3.8$\mathrm{Ge}\mathrm{V}/c^2$. Upper limits are set at $95\%$ credibility level on the ratio of the ${\Xi }_{cc}^{+}$ production cross-section times the branching fraction to that of ${\Lambda }_c^{+}$ and ${\Xi }_{cc}^{++}$ baryons. The limits are determined as functions of the ${\Xi }_{cc}^{+}$ mass for different lifetime hypotheses, in the rapidity range from 2.0 to 4.5 and the transverse momentum range from 4 to 15$\mathrm{Ge}\mathrm{V}/c$.
