Search for the X (5568) State Decaying into Bs0 ?± in Proton-Proton Collisions at s =8 TeV
Abstract
PubMed: 29864318 ; 2-s2.0-85047817215 ; A search for resonancelike structures in the Bs0?± invariant mass spectrum is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at s=8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1. The Bs0 mesons are reconstructed in the decay chain Bs0?J/??, with J/???+?- and ??K+K-. The Bs0?± invariant mass distribution shows no statistically significant peaks for different selection requirements on the reconstructed Bs0 and ?± candidates. Upper limits are set on the relative production rates of the X(5568) and Bs0 states times the branching fraction of the decay X(5568)±?Bs0?±. In addition, upper limits are obtained as a function of the mass and the natural width of possible exotic states decaying into Bs0?±. © 2018 CERN. ; ST/I003622/1, ST/I505580/1, ST/J004871/1, ST/J005479/1, ST/K003542/1, ST/L005603/1, ST/M004775/1, ST/N000242/1 2012/07/E/ST2/01406, 2014/ 13/B/ST2/02543, 2014/14/M/ST2/00428, 2014/15/B/ST2/03998, 2015/19/B/ ST2/02861 National Science Foundation, NSF: 1151640, 1508869, 1606321 National Institutes of Health, NIH U.S. Department of Energy, USDOE Alfred P.
