Abstract

The decays Bs0→J/ψπ+πK+K are studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb−1, collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13TeV. The decays Bs0→J/ψK∗0K¯∗0 and Bs0→χc1(3872)K+K, where the K+K pair does not originate from a ϕ meson, are observed for the first time. Precise measurements of the ratios of branching fractions between intermediate χc1(3872)ϕ, J/ψK∗0K¯∗0, ψ(2S)ϕ and χc1(3872)K+K states are reported. A structure, denoted as X(4740), is observed in the J/ψϕ mass spectrum and, assuming a Breit-Wigner parameterisation, its mass and width are determined to be \begin{eqnarray*} m_{X(4740)} & = & 4741 \pm 6 \pm 6,{\mathrm{MeV}}/c^2 ,, \ \Gamma_{X(4740)} & = & 53 \pm 15 \pm 11,{\mathrm{MeV}} ,, \end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, the most precise single measurement of the mass of the Bs0 meson is performed and gives a value of

mBs0=5366.98±0.07±0.13MeV/c2.
