AB A search for the rare decays B0s→π+π−μ+μ−and B0→π+π−μ+μ−is performed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb−1collected by the LHCb detector in proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. Decay candidates with pion pairs that have invariant mass in the range 0.5–1.3GeV/c2and with muon pairs that do not originate from a resonance are considered. The first observation of the decay B0s→π+π−μ+μ−and the first evidence of the decay B0→π+π−μ+μ−are obtained and the branching fractions, restricted to the dipion-mass range considered, are measured to be B(B0s→π+π−μ+μ−) =(8.6 ±1.5(stat) ±0.7(syst) ±0.7 (norm)) ×10−8and B(B0→π+π−μ+μ−) =(2.11±0.51(stat)±0.15(syst)±0.16(norm))×10−8, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the decay B0→J/ψ(→μ+μ−)K∗(892)0(→K+π−), used as a normalisation.
