A baryonic decay of the $B_c^+$ meson, $B_c^+to J/psi poverline{p}pi^+$, is observed for the first time, with a significance of $7.3$ standard deviations, in $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0$ fb$^{-1}$ taken at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$ $mathrm{TeV}$. With the $B_c^+to J/psi pi^+$ decay as normalization channel, the ratio of branching fractions is measured to be begin{equation*} frac{mathcal{B}(B_c^+to J/psi poverline{p}pi^+)}{mathcal{B}(B_c^+to J/psi pi^+)} = 0.143^{,+,0.039}_{,-,0.034},(mathrm{stat})pm0.013,(mathrm{syst}). end{equation*} The mass of the $B_c^+$ meson is determined as $M(B_c^+)=6274.0pm1.8,(mathrm{stat})pm0.4,(mathrm{syst}),mathrm{MeV}/c^2$, using the $B_c^+to J/psi poverline{p}pi^+$ channel.

We report the first observation of a baryonic $B_s^0$ decay, $B_s^0 to p kern 0.1emoverline{kern -0.1emLambda} K^-$, using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The branching fraction is measured to be $ mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to p kern 0.1emoverline{kern -0.1emLambda} K^-) + mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to bar{p} Lambda K^+) = left[5.46 pm 0.61 pm 0.57 pm 0.50 (mathcal{B}) pm 0.32 (f_s/f_d)right]times 10^{-6}, $ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, the third uncertainty accounts for the experimental uncertainty on the branching fraction of the $B^0 to p kern 0.1emoverline{kern -0.1emLambda} pi^-$ decay used for normalization, and the fourth uncertainty relates to the knowledge of the ratio of $b$-quark hadronization probabilities $f_s/f_d$.
The decay $B_c^+ to psi(2S)pi^+$ with $psi(2S) to mu^+mu^-$ is observed with a significance of $5.2,sigma$ using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,invfb$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The branching fraction of $B_c^+ to psi(2S)pi^+$ decays relative to that of the $B_c^+ to J/psipi^+$ mode is measured to be begin{equation*} frac{mathcal{B}(B_c^+ to psi(2S)pi^+)}{mathcal{B}(B_c^+ to J/psipi^+)} = 0.250 pm 0.068 ,text{stat} pm 0.014 ,text{syst} pm 0.006 ,(mathcal{B}). end{equation*} The last term is the uncertainty on the ratio $mathcal{B}(psi(2S) to mu^+mu^-)/mathcal{B}(J/psi to mu^+mu^-)$.
The first observation of the decay of a $B^0$ meson to a purely baryonic final state, $B^0 to p bar{p}$, is reported. The proton-proton collision data sample used was collected with the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$. The branching fraction is determined to be $${cal B}(B^0 to p bar{p}) = ( 1.25 pm 0.27 pm 0.18 ) times 10^{-8} ,$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The decay mode $B^0 to p bar{p}$ is the rarest decay of the $B^0$ meson observed to date. The decay $B_s^0 to p bar{p}$ is also investigated. No signal is seen and the upper limit ${cal B}(B_s^0 to p bar{p}) < 1.5 times 10^{-8}$ at 90% confidence level is set on the branching fraction.
The decay $B_crightarrow J/psi K^+ K^- pi^+$ is observed for the first time, using proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$. A signal yield of $78pm14$ decays is reported with a significance of 6.2 standard deviations. The ratio of the branching fraction of $B_c rightarrow J/psi K^+ K^- pi^+$ decays to that of $B_c rightarrow J/psi pi^+$ decays is measured to be $0.53pm 0.10pm0.05$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.
We report the observation of the baryonic B decay B0bar --> Lambda_c^+ anti-Lambda K- with a significance larger than 7 standard deviations based on 471x10^6$ BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at SLAC. We measure the branching fraction for the decay B0bar --> Lambda_c^+ anti-Lambda K- to be (3.8 pm 0.8_{stat} pm 0.2_{sys} pm 1.0_{Lambda_c^+})x10^{-5}. The uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the uncertainty in the Lambda_c^+ branching fraction. We find that the Lambda_c^+ K^- invariant mass distribution shows an enhancement above 3.5 GeV/c^2.
