Title: | Observation of an Excited B-c(+/-) Meson State with the ATLAS Detector | Authors: | Aad, G. Abbott, B. Abdallah, J. Khalek, S. Abdel Abdinov, O. Aben, R. Adelman, J. |
Keywords: | B-C Meson | Publisher: | Amer Physical Soc | Abstract: | A search for excited states of the B-c(+/-) meson is performed using 4.9 fb(-1) of 7 TeV and 19.2 fb(-1) of 8 TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. A new state is observed through its hadronic transition to the ground state, with the latter detected in the decayB(c)(+/-) -> J/psi pi(+/-). The state appears in the m(B-c(+/-)pi(+)pi(-)) - m(B-c(+/-)) - 2m(pi(+/-)) mass difference distribution with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. The mass of the observed state is 6842 +/- 4 +/- 5 MeV, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The mass and decay of this state are consistent with expectations for the second S-wave state of the B-c(+/-) meson, B-c(+/-)(2S). | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.212004 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11851/9610 |
