AB The Cabibbo-suppressed decay Lambda b0-> chi (c1)p(-) 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 b0-> chi (c2)p(-) decay is also found. Using the Lambda b0-> chi (c1)pK(-) decay as normalisation channel, the ratios of branching fractions are measured to be
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is due to the uncertainties in the branching fractions of chi (c1,2)-> J/psi gamma decays.
