Abstract: | A Dalitz plot analysis of B0 → ηc(1S)K +π−
decays is performed using data samples of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies
of √s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1. A satisfactory description of
the data is obtained when including a contribution representing an exotic ηc(1S)π− resonant state. The significance
of this exotic resonance is more than three standard deviations, while its mass and width are 4096 ± 20 +18
−22 MeV and
152±58 +60
−35 MeV, respectively. The spin-parity assignments
J P = 0+ and J P = 1− are both consistent with the data. In
addition, the first measurement of the B0 → ηc(1S)K +π−
branching fraction is performed and gives
B(B0→ ηc(1S)K +π−) = (5.73 ± 0.24 ± 0.13 ± 0.66) × 10−4,
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is due to limited knowledge of external
branching fractions |
