A search for the doubly charmed baryon
Ξ
c
c

is performed through its decay to the
Λ

K

π
+
final state, using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb
−1
. No significant signal is observed in the mass range from 3.4 to 3.8 GeV/
c

. Upper limits are set at 95% credibility level on the ratio of the

production cross-section times the branching fraction to that of

and
Ξ

c

baryons. The limits are determined as functions of the

mass for different lifetime hypotheses, in the rapidity range from 2.0 to 4.5 and the transverse momentum range from 4 to 15 GeV/
