A search for meson decays to the and final states is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The decay is observed for the first time when requiring that the two electrons are consistent with coming from the decay of a or meson. The corresponding branching fractions are measured relative to the decay, where the two electrons are consistent with coming from the decay of a or meson. No evidence is found for the decay and world-best limits are set on its branching fraction. The results are compared to, and found to be consistent with, the branching fractions of the and decays recently measured by LHCb and confirm lepton universality at the current precision. © 2025 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration2025CERN
