Resumen

A study of the charmless baryonic decays Bs0→K0pp¯ is presented, where Bs0 denotes either a B⁰ or a Bs0 meson. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb⁻¹. The decay Bs0→K0pp¯ is observed for the first time, with a measured branching fraction of (9.14 ± 1.69 ± 0.90 ± 0.33 ± 0.20) × 10⁻⁷ and a significance of 5.6σ. The uncertainties respectively account for statistical and systematic contributions, the precision of the branching fraction of the normalisation channel B⁰→ K⁰π⁺π⁻ and the fragmentation fraction ratio f_s/f_d. The branching fraction determined for B0→K0pp¯ is (2.82 ± 0.08 ± 0.12 ± 0.10) × 10⁻⁶, which is the most precise measurement to date.
