We report the first observation of the two-body baryonic decays 𝐡+ β†’ Σ𝑐⁒(2455)++$$\bar{Ξ}^-_c$$ and 𝐡0 β†’ Σ𝑐⁒(2455)0⁒$$\bar{Ξ}^0_𝑐$$ with significances of 7.3⁒𝜎 and 6.2⁒𝜎, respectively, including statistical and systematic uncertainties. The branching fractions are measured to be ℬ⁑(𝐡+ β†’ Σ𝑐⁒(2455)++$$\bar{Ξ}^-_c$$) = (5.74 Β± 1.11 Β± 0.4⁒2$$^{+2.47}_{βˆ’1.53}$$) Γ—10βˆ’4 and ℬ⁑(𝐡0 β†’ Σ𝑐⁒(2455)0⁒$$\bar{Ξ}^0_𝑐$$) = (4.83 Β± 1.12 Β± 0.3⁒7$$^{+0.72}_{βˆ’0.60}$$) Γ—10βˆ’4. The first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise from the absolute branching fractions of $$\bar{Ξ}^-_c$$ or $$\bar{Ξ}^0_𝑐$$ decays. The data samples used for this analysis have integrated luminosities of 711 fbβˆ’1 and 365 fbβˆ’1, and were collected at the ϒ⁑(4⁒𝑆) resonance by the Belle and Belle II detectors operating at the KEKB and SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy 𝑒+β’π‘’βˆ’ colliders, respectively.
