   A bstract Using a data sample of 980 fb − 1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e − collider, we study the processes of $$ {\Xi}_c^0\to \Lambda {\overline{K}}^{\ast 0} $$ Ξ c 0 → Λ K ¯ ∗ 0 , $$ {\Xi}_c^0\to {\Sigma}^0{\overline{K}}^{\ast 0} $$ Ξ c 0 → Σ 0 K ¯ ∗ 0 , and $$ {\Xi}_c^0\to {\Sigma}^{+}{K}^{\ast -} $$ Ξ c 0 → Σ + K ∗ − for the first time. The relative branching ratios to the normalization mode of $$ {\Xi}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{\pi}^{+} $$ Ξ c 0 → Ξ − π + are measured to be $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}\mathcal{B}\left({\Xi}_c^0\to \Lambda {\overline{K}}^{\ast 0}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\Xi}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)=0.18\pm 0.02\left(\mathrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.01\left(\mathrm{syst}.\right),\\ {}\mathcal{B}\left({\Xi}_c^0\to {\Sigma}^0{\overline{K}}^{\ast 0}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\Xi}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)=0.69\pm 0.03\left(\mathrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.03\left(\mathrm{syst}.\right),\\ {}\mathcal{B}\left({\Xi}_c^0\to {\Sigma}^{+}{K}^{\ast -}\right)/\mathcal{B}\left({\Xi}_c^0\to {\Xi}^{-}{\pi}^{+}\right)=0.34\pm 0.06\left(\mathrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.02\left(\mathrm{syst}.\right),\end{array}} $$ B Ξ c 0 → Λ K ¯ ∗ 0 / B Ξ c 0 → Ξ − π + = 0.18 ± 0.02 stat . ± 0.01 syst . , B Ξ c 0 → Σ 0 K ¯ ∗ 0 / B Ξ c 0 → Ξ − π + = 0.69 ± 0.03 stat . ± 0.03 syst . , B Ξ c 0 → Σ + K ∗ − / B Ξ c 0 → Ξ − π + = 0.34 ± 0.06 stat . ± 0.02 syst . , where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

   A bstract The Cabibbo-suppressed decay $$ {\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0 $$ Λ b 0 → χ c1 pπ − is observed for the first time using data from proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb − 1 , collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Evidence for the $$ {\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0 $$ Λ b 0 → χ c2 pπ − decay is also found. Using the $$ {\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0 $$ Λ b 0 → χ c1 pK − decay as normalisation channel, the ratios of branching fractions are measured to be $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}\frac{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1}{\mathrm{p}\uppi}^{-}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1}{\mathrm{p}\mathrm{K}}^{-}\right)}=\left(6.59\pm 1.01\pm 0.22\right)\times {10}^{-2},\\ {}\frac{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}2}{\mathrm{p}\uppi}^{-}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1}{\mathrm{p}\uppi}^{-}\right)}=0.95\pm 0.30\pm 0.04\pm 0.04,\\ {}\frac{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}2}{\mathrm{p}\mathrm{K}}^{-}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({\Lambda}_{\mathrm{b}}^0\to {\upchi}_{\mathrm{c}1}{\mathrm{p}\mathrm{K}}^{-}\right)}=1.06\pm 0.05\pm 0.04\pm 0.04,\end{array}} $$ B Λ b 0 → χ c 1 pπ − B Λ b 0 → χ c 1 pK − = 6.59 ± 1.01 ± 0.22 × 10 − 2 , B Λ b 0 → χ c 2 pπ − B Λ b 0 → χ c 1 pπ − = 0.95 ± 0.30 ± 0.04 ± 0.04 , B Λ b 0 → χ c 2 pK − B Λ b 0 → χ c 1 pK − = 1.06 ± 0.05 ± 0.04 ± 0.04 , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is due to the uncertainties in the branching fractions of χ c1 , 2 → J / ψγ decays.
