    The suppressed decay Λ0b→pπ−μ+μ−, excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S)→μ+μ− resonances, is observed for the first time with a significance of 5.5 standard deviations. The analysis is performed with proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb−1 collected with the LHCb experiment. The Λ0b→pπ−μ+μ− branching fraction is measured relative to the Λ0b→J/ψ(→μ+μ−)pπ− branching fraction givingB(Λ0b→pπ−μ+μ−)B(Λ0b→J/ψ(→μ+μ−)pπ−)=0.044±0.012±0.007,where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first observation of a b→d transition in a baryonic decay.
