Testing the HyperCP anomaly at LHCb: evidence for the Σ+→pμ+μ−Σ^+ \to p μ^+ μ^- decay

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

A search for Σ+→pμ+μ−Σ^+ \to p μ^+ μ^- decays with LHCb Run 1 data is presented, yielding an evidence for this decay and a measurement of a branching fraction compatible with the Standard Model. The HyperCP anomaly in the dimuon invariant mass distribution is not confirmed, and its branching fraction central value is excluded at 95\% CL. Prospects for the future of this measurement in LHCb are also presented.
