Search for B c + → π + μ + μ - decays and measurement of the branching fraction ratio B ( B c + → ψ ( 2 S ) π + ) / B ( B c + → J / ψ π + )

The first search for nonresonant Bc+→π+μ+μ- decays is reported. The analysis uses proton–proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb-1. No evidence for an excess of signal events over background is observed and an upp...
