Abstract
The radiative decay is observed for the first time using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of collected by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Its branching fraction is measured exploiting the decay as a normalization mode and is found to be , where the quoted uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and systematic from external inputs, respectively. This is the first observation of a radiative decay of a beauty baryon.
