Nonresonant and Resonant Decays of Lambda C Barions

Caption

Baryons containing a charm quark can decay at once into a proton and two muons. Using data from the LHCb experiment, scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow have shown that in these extremely rare processes there are still no signs of the 'new physics'. The signal of the nonresonant decay is visible at the top, the signal of the resonant decay into a proton and omega meson is presented below.
