Abstract: (Springer)
The doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ξc+_{c}^{+}  → pϕ with ϕ → K+^{+}K^{−} is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of more than fifteen standard deviations. The data sample used in this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb1^{−1} recorded with the LHCb detector in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The ratio of branching fractions between the decay Ξc+_{c}^{+}  → pϕ and the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ξc+_{c}^{+}  → pK^{−}π+^{+} is measured to be B(Ξc+pϕ)B(Ξc+pKπ+)=(19.8±0.7±0.9±0.2)×103, \frac{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varXi}_c^{+}\to p\phi \right)}{\mathrm{\mathcal{B}}\left({\varXi}_c^{+}\to p{K}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)}=\left(19.8\pm 0.7\pm 0.9\pm 0.2\right)\times {10}^{-3},
