The first observation of the decays $Lambda_b^0 to chi_{c1} p K^-$ and $Lambda_b^0 to chi_{c2} p K^-$ is reported using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0$ fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The following ratios of branching fractions are measured begin{eqnarray*} frac{{cal B}(Lambda_b^0 to chi_{c1} p K^-)}{{cal B}(Lambda_b^0 to J/psi p K^-)} = 0.242 pm 0.014 pm 0.013 pm 0.009, frac{{cal B}(Lambda_b^0 to chi_{c2} p K^-)}{{cal B}(Lambda_b^0 to J/psi p K^-)} = 0.248 pm 0.020 pm 0.014 pm 0.009, frac{{cal B}(Lambda_b^0 to chi_{c2} p K^-)}{{cal B}(Lambda_b^0 to chi_{c1} p K^-)} = 1.02 pm 0.10 pm 0.02 pm 0.05, end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the uncertainty on the branching fractions of the $chi_{c1}to J/psigamma$ and $chi_{c2} to J/psigamma$ decays. Using both decay modes, the mass of the $Lambda_b^0$ baryon is also measured to be $m_{Lambda_b^0} = 5619.44 pm 0.28 pm 0.26$ MeV/$c^2$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

The decay $Lambda_b^0 to eta_c(1S) p K^-$ is observed for the first time using a data sample of proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.5 $fb^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The branching fraction of the decay is measured, using the $Lambda_b^0 to J/psi p K^-$ decay as a normalization mode, to be $mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to eta_c(1S) p K^-)=(1.06pm0.16pm0.06^{+0.22}_{-0.19})times10^{-4}$, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical, systematic and due to external inputs, respectively. A study of the $eta_c(1S) p$ mass spectrum is performed to search for the $P_c(4312)^+$ pentaquark state. No evidence is observed and an upper limit of begin{equation*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to P_c(4312)^+ K^-)times mathcal{B}(P_c(4312)^+ to eta_c(1S) p)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to eta_c(1S) p K^-)} < 0.24 end{equation*} is obtained at the 95% confidence level.
The decays $chi_{c1} rightarrow J/psi mu^+ mu^-$ and $chi_{c2} rightarrow J/psi mu^+ mu^-$ are observed and used to study the resonance parameters of the $chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$ mesons. The masses of these states are measured to be m(chi_{c1}) = 3510.71 pm 0.04(stat) pm 0.09(syst)MeV,, m(chi_{c2}) = 3556.10 pm 0.06(stat) pm 0.11(syst)MeV,, where the knowledge of the momentum scale for charged particles dominates the systematic uncertainty. The momentum-scale uncertainties largely cancel in the mass difference m(chi_{c2}) - m(chi_{c1}) = 45.39 pm 0.07(stat) pm 0.03(syst)MeV,. The natural width of the $chi_{c2}$ meson is measured to be $$Gamma(chi_{c2}) = 2.10 pm 0.20(stat) pm 0.02(syst)MeV,.$$ These results are in good agreement with and have comparable precision to the current world averages.
The decays $chi_{cJ}toSigma^{0}bar{p}K^{+}+{rm c.c.}~(J = 0, 1, 2)$ are studied via the radiative transition $psi(3686)togammachi_{cJ}$ based on a data sample of $(448.1 pm 2.9)times10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The branching fractions of $chi_{cJ}toSigma^{0}bar{p}K^{+}+{rm c.c.}~(J = 0, 1, 2)$ are measured to be $(3.03 pm 0.12pm 0.15)times10^{-4}$, $(1.46 pm 0.07pm 0.07)times10^{-4}$, and $(0.91 pm 0.06pm 0.05)times10^{-4}$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. In addition, no evident structure is found for excited baryon resonances on the two-body subsystems with the limited statistics.
Using proton-proton collision data, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to 1.0, 2.0 and 1.9fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively, the decay $Lambda_b^0to chi_{c1}(3872)pK^-$ with $chi_{c1}to J/psipi^+pi^-$ is observed for the first time. The significance of the observed signal is in excess of seven standard deviations. It is found that $(58pm15)%$ of the decays proceed via the two-body intermediate state $chi_{c1}(3872)Lambda(1520)$. The~branching fraction with respect to that of the $Lambda_brightarrowpsi(2S)p K^{-}$ decay mode, where the $psi(2S)$~meson is reconstructed in the $J/psi pi^+pi^-$ final state, is measured to be: begin{equation*} frac{Lambda_b^0tochi_{c1}(3872)pK^-}{Lambda_btopsi(2S)p K^-} times frac{mathcal{B}(chi_{c1} to J/psi pi^+pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(psi(2S)to J/psi pi^+pi^-)} = left(5.4 pm 1.1 pm 0.2right)times 10^{-2},, end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.
The decay $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p} pi^-$ is observed using $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s}=$ 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 $fb^{-1}$. The ratio of branching fractions between $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p} pi^-$ and $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ pi^-$ decays is measured to be begin{equation*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p}pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ pi^-)} = 0.0540 pm 0.0023 pm 0.0032. end{equation*} Two resonant structures are observed in the $ Lambda_c^+ pi^-$ mass spectrum of the ${Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ poverline{p} pi^-}$ decays, corresponding to the $Sigma_c(2455)^0$ and $Sigma_c^{*}(2520)^0$ states. The ratios of branching fractions with respect to the decay $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p} pi^-$ are begin{align*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Sigma_c^0 poverline{p})timesmathcal{B}(Sigma_c^0to Lambda_c^+ pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p}pi^-)} = 0.089pm0.015pm0.006, frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Sigma_c^{*0} poverline{p})timesmathcal{B}(Sigma_c^{*0}to Lambda_c^+ pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p}pi^-)} = 0.119pm0.020pm0.014. end{align*} In all of the above results, the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The phase space is also examined for the presence of dibaryon resonances. No evidence for such resonances is found.
