title = "First Observation of the Doubly Charmed Baryon Decay Ξcc + + → Ξc+ π+",
abstract = "The doubly charmed baryon decay Ξcc++→Ξc+π+ is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of 5.9σ, confirming a recent observation of the baryon in the Λc+K-π+π+ final state. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 fb-1, collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The Ξcc++ mass is measured to be 3620.6±1.5(stat)±0.4(syst)±0.3(Ξc+) MeV/c2 and is consistent with the previous result. The ratio of branching fractions between the decay modes is measured to be [B(Ξcc++→Ξc+π+)×B(Ξc+→pK-π+)]/[B(Ξcc++→Λc+K-π+π+)×B(Λc+→pK-π+)]=0.035±0.009(stat)±0.003(syst).",
