This decay is mediated by flavour-changing neutral-current transitions in the Standard Model and is potentially sensitive to new sources of CP violation. The study is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions recorded with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb(-1). The Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-)mu(+)mu(-) decay is observed for the first time, and two observables that are sensitive to different manifestations of CP violation are measured, Delta A(CP) equivalent to A(CP) (Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-)mu(+)mu(-)) -- A(CP) (Lambda(0)(b) -> pK(-)J/psi) and a(CP)((T) over cap -odd), where the latter is based on asymmetries in the angle between the mu(+)mu(-) and pK(-) decay planes. These are measured to be Delta A(CP) = (-3.5 +/- 5.0 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-2), a(CP)((T) over cap -odd) = (1.2 +/- 5.0 (stat) +/- 0.7 (syst)) x 10(-2), and no evidence for CP violation is found.", optnote="WOS:000404625300001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3194), last updated on Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:55:59 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP06(2017)108", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00256", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP06(2017)108", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1703.00256", language="English" }
