Abstract

First observations and measurements of the branching fractions of the B̄s0→D ⁺D ^-, B̄s0→Ds+D ^- and B̄s0→D0D ^̄0 decays are presented using 1.0 fb ^-1 of data collected by the LHCb experiment. These branching fractions are normalized to those of B ^̄0→D ⁺D ^-, B0→D ^-Ds+ and B ^-→D0Ds- , respectively. An excess of events consistent with the decay B ^̄0→D0D ^̄0 is also seen, and its branching fraction is measured relative to that of B ^-→D0Ds-. Improved measurements of the branching fractions B(B̄s0→Ds+Ds-) and B(B ^-→D0Ds-) are reported, each relative to B(B0→D ^-Ds+). The ratios of branching fractions are B(B̄s0→D ⁺D ^-)B(B ^̄0→D ⁺D ^-)=1.08±0.20±0.10, B(B̄s0→Ds+D ^-)B(B0→D ^-Ds+)=0.050±0.008±0.004, B(B̄s0→D0D ^̄0)B(B ^-→D0Ds-)=0. 019±0.003±0.003, B(B ^̄0→D0D ^̄0)B(B ^-→D0Ds-)<0.0024 at 90% CL, B(B̄s0→Ds+Ds-)B(B0→D ^-Ds+)=0.56±0.03±0. 04, B(B ^-→D0Ds-)B(B0→D ^-Ds+)=1.22±0. 02±0.07, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
