Hidden Charm Spectroscopy from Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper reports the observation of a narrow structure near the J/psi phi threshold in B+ decays from p-pbar collisions, providing evidence for the Y(4140) state with precise mass and width measurements.

Contribution

It presents the first observation of a structure near the J/psi phi threshold in B+ decays from Tevatron data, confirming the existence of the Y(4140) state.

Findings

Observation of a narrow structure with 5 sigma significance

Measured mass of 4143.4 MeV and width of 15.3 MeV

Consistent with previous evidence of Y(4140)

Abstract

The observation of a narrow structure near the J/psi phi threshold in exclusive B+ to J/psi phi K+ decays produced in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV is reported. A signal of 19 +- 6(stat) +- 3(syst) events, with statistical significance of 5.0 standard deviations, is seen in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.0 invfb, collected by the CDF II detector. The mass and natural width of the structure are determined to be m = 4143.4 + 2.9 - 3.0(stat) +- 0.6(syst) MeV and Gamma = 15.3 + 10.4 - 6.1(stat) +- 2.5(syst) MeV, consistent with the previous measurements reported as evidence of the Y(4140).
