The ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed in the μ+μ− final state. The branching fraction with respect to that of the Λ 0b → ψ(2S)pK− decay mode is measured to beB(Λ0b→ψ(2S)pπ−)B(Λ0b→ψ(2S)pK−)=(11.4±1.3±0.2)%,where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The ψ(2S)p and ψ(2S)π− mass spectra are investigated and no evidence for exotic resonances is found.
