Abstract

The data sample of Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^- decays acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^-1, is inspected for the presence of J/ψp or J/ψK^-contributions with minimal assumptions about K^-p contributions. It is demonstrated at more than nine standard deviations that Λ_b⁰→J/ψpK^- decays cannot be described with K^-p contributions alone, and that J/ψp contributions play a dominant role in this incompatibility. These model-independent results support the previously obtained model-dependent evidence for P_c⁺→J/ψp charmonium-pentaquark states in the same data sample.
