An improved measurement of the decay and searches for the decays and are performed at the LHCb experiment using data collected in proton-proton collisions at , 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1, 2 and , respectively. The branching fraction and effective lifetime are measured to be and , respectively, where the uncertainties include both statistical and systematic contributions. No significant signal for and decays is found and the upper limits and at 95% confidence level are determined, where the latter is limited to the range . Additionally, the ratio between the and branching fractions is measured to be at 95% confidence level. The results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
