First observation of the rare purely baryonic decay B0 → pp¯

The first observation of the decay of a B0 meson to a purely baryonic final state, B0→pp¯ , is reported. The proton-proton collision data sample used was collected with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1. The branchi...
