Abstract

This paper presents a study of the charmless three-body decays Bs0→KS0h+h′− (where h() = π, K), using a sample of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment during Runs 1 and 2 of the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The decay Bs0→KS0K+K− is observed for the first time, and the following ratios of branching fractions are measured: (Formula presented.) where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to knowledge of the ratio of hadronisation fractions of the Bs0 and B0 mesons, respectively.
