Evidence for $B^0 \to p\bar{\Sigma}^0\pi^-$ at Belle

We search for the $B^0\to p\bar{\Sigma}^0\pi^-$ decay with $\bar{\Sigma}^0 \to \bar{\Lambda}\gamma$, where the $\gamma$ is not measured, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 $\rm{fb^{-1}}$ which contains 772 $\times$ $10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs, collected around the $\Upsilon$(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. We measure for the first time the $B^0\to p\bar{\Sigma}^0\pi^-$ branching fraction to be $\mathcal{B}(B^0 \to p \bar\Sigma^0 \pi^-) = (1.17^{+0.43}_{-0.40}(\text{stat})\pm 0.07(\text{syst})) \times 10^{-6}$ with a significance of $3.0\sigma$. We simultaneously measure the branching fraction for the related channel $B^{0}\to p\bar{\Lambda}\pi^{-}$ with much improved precision.
