- The search for this very rare decay relies heavily on information from the LHCb Vertex Detector, six out of the 12 discriminating variables use primarily information from this detector. I have made significant contributions to the design, construction and operation of the Vertex Detector, and have been its project leader. This paper is the first observation of this rare decay and a measurement of its branching fraction. The measurement rules out many extensions to the standard model since these would alter the branching ratio.
