Search for the decay $B^- \rightarrow Λ_c^+ \bar{p} \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ with the BABAR detector
This work presents the search for the semileptonic baryonic B decay $B^- \rightarrow Λ_c^+ \bar{p} \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$. The used data comprises the complete BABAR data set of $470 \cdot 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ events, collected at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Using a pole-model decay simulation, we obtain upper limits with $90\%$ confidence level of $B(B^- \rightarrow Λ_c^+ \bar{p} e^- \barν_{e})\cdot \frac{B(Λ_c^+ \rightarrow p K^- π^+)}{5\%} < 1.2 \times 10^{-4}$, $B(B^- \rightarrow Λ_c^+ \bar{p} μ^- \barν_μ)\cdot \frac{B(Λ_c^+ \rightarrow p K^- π^+)}{5\%} < 2.5 \times 10^{-4}$, $B(B^- \rightarrow Λ_c^+ \bar{p} \ell^- \barν_{\ell})\cdot \frac{B(Λ_c^+ \rightarrow p K^- π^+)}{5\%} < 1.0 \times 10^{-4}$. These results are in slight tension with predictions based on the measurement of $B^- \rightarrow \bar{p} p \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ and $B^- \rightarrow Λ_c^+ \bar{p} π^-$.
