Abstract：
The product of the Λ_b⁰(B⁰) di erential production cross-section and the branching fraction of the decay Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^- (B⁰→J/ψpK^*(892)⁰) is measured as a function of the beauty hadron transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y. The kinematic region of the measurements is p_T <20 GeV/c and 2.0< y< 4.5. The measurements use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb^-1 collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies √s= 7 TeV in 2011 and √s= 8 TeV in 2012. Based on previous LHCb results of the fragmentation fraction ratio, f_{Λ_b⁰}/f_d, the branching fraction of the decay Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^- is measured to be
B(Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^-)=(3.17±0.04±0.07±0.34_-0.28^+0.45)×10^-4,
where the rst uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the decay B⁰→J/ψpK^*(892)⁰, and the fourth is due to the knowledge of f_{Λ_b⁰}/f_d. The sum of the asymmetries in the production and decay between Λ_b⁰ and Λ_b⁰ is also measured as a function of p_T and y. The previously published branching fraction of Λ_b⁰→J/ψpπ^-, relative to that of Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^-, is updated. The branching fractions of Λ_b⁰→P_c⁺(→J/ψp)K^- are determined.
