1. Introduction

The discovery of new charmonium-like states [1–6] over the last decade poses a challenge to the conventional quark model. Many explanations, such as charmed hybrids, tetraquarks, and molecular states,havebeen proposed forthesenew entities, but their nature remains a puzzle [7,8]. In 2009, the CDF Collabora-tionreported evidence fora narrow structure, whichthey called Y(4140), near the J/ψφ threshold in B±→J/ψφK± decays [9]. Thisstructure,ifconfirmedasanewresonance,wouldbea candi-dateforanexoticmeson[10–18].TheBelleCollaborationsearched forthe Y(4140)through the sameB± decaychannel [19] andin thetwo-photon process γ γ →J/ψφ [20],butdidnot confirmit. UsingthesameB±decaychannel,theLHCbCollaborationrecently reportedfindingnoevidenceforsuchastate,indisagreementwith theCDFresult[21].

InthisLetter,a studyofthe J/ψφ massspectrum fromB+→ J/ψφK+ decaysisreported,wherecharge conjugatedecaymodes areimpliedthroughout.Thedatawerecollectedin2011withthe CompactMuonSolenoid(CMS)detectorfromproton–proton colli-sionsattheLargeHadronCollider(LHC)operatingata center-of-massenergyof7 TeVandcorrespondingtoanintegrated luminos-ityof5.2±0.1 fb−1[22].

Monte Carlo(MC) simulated data were createdusing pythia6 [24] for the particle production, evtgen [25] for theparticle de-cays, and Geant4[26]fortracing theparticlesthrough adetailed model ofthe detector. Thesesamples were created withthe ap-propriateconditionsforthedataanalyzed,includingtheeffectsof alignment,efficiency,andnumberofsimultaneousppcollisions.

2. Eventselection

Events are chosen using a two-level trigger system. The first level,composed ofcustomhardware processors,uses information fromthe muon detectors toselect dimuon candidates.The high-level trigger (HLT) runs a special version of the offline software

Events containing J candidates are selected by the HLT dimuontrigger.BecauseoftheincreasingLHCinstantaneous lumi-nosity, thereare two configurations of theHLT, corresponding to tworunningperiodsandtwodistinctdatasets.Forbothdatasets, thefollowingrequirementsare alreadyappliedwiththeHLT.The dimuonpTisrequiredtobegreaterthan6.9 GeV,thetwomuons must be oppositely charged and form a three-dimensional (3D) vertexwitha χ2 probability greater than0.5–10%,depending on the running period. The resulting J vertex must be displaced from the average interaction point (beamspot) in the transverse planeby atleastthreetimesitsuncertainty,which isthesumin quadratureofthesecondary-vertexuncertaintyandthebeamspot sizeinthetransverse plane.Thecosine ofthe anglebetweenthe transverseprojectionsofthelinejoiningthebeamspotanddimuon vertexandthedimuonmomentumdirectionmustexceed0.9.For thelaterdataset,thereisanadditionalrequirementthatthepT of eachmuonbegreaterthan4 GeV.InthefinalselectionofJ can-didates,thedimuon pT isrequiredto begreater than7 GeV,the

χ2 probability of the dimuon vertex is demanded to be greater than 10%,and thereconstructed dimuon invariant massmust be within150 MeVoftheJ mass[27].

TheB+→J/ψφK+ candidatesare reconstructedby combining three additional charged-particle tracks that are consistent with originatingfromthedisplacedJ vertexandhaveatotalcharge of ±1. These tracks are assigned the kaon mass and this mass isusedin accountingfortheeffectsofenergyloss and multiple-scattering.Wedonotapply amassconstraintontheφ candidate becauseourexperimental K+K− massresolution(1.3 MeV)isless than the φ meson natural width (4.3 MeV). The pT of all kaon tracks are required to be greater than 1 GeV. Only tracks that pass the standard CMS quality requirements [28] are used. The fivetracks,withthe μ+μ− invariantmassconstrainedtotheJ

There are two K+K− combinations fromthe three chargedkaon tracks, andwe use the lower invariant mass astheφ candidate; MCsimulations ofthe B+ decaypredict that the φ signal from the other combination is negligible, which is verifiedinthedata.ThereconstructedK+K−invariant massmust satisfy 1.008 GeV<m(K+K−)<1.035 GeV to be considered asa

3. Results

The invariant-mass spectrum of the selected J/ψφK+ candi-dates is shown in the left plot of Fig. 1 for a mass difference

mm(μ+μ−K+K−)m(μ+μ)<1.568 GeV. We only inves-tigate candidateswith m<1.568 GeV becauseofpossible back-groundfromB0s→ ψ(2S→J/ψπ+πφathighervalues,as dis-cussed below.Theinvariant-mass spectrumisfitwithaGaussian signal functionandasecond-degreepolynomialbackground func-tion. The fit returns a B+ mass of 5.2796±0.0006 (stat.)GeV, which agreeswiththe nominalvalue [27],andaGaussian width of 9.6±0.7 (stat.)MeV, which is consistent with the prediction fromtheMCsimulation.TheB+yieldis2480±160(stat.)events, whichistheworld’slargestB+→J/ψφK+ sample.Thecombined B+yieldis2340±120(stat.)eventswheneachdatasetisfitwith two Gaussian signal functions andthe width ofeach function is fixed to theprediction fromMC simulation.Approximately 5% of the selected eventshavemore thanone B+ candidatewithin 1.5 timesourmassresolution(σ)ofthe B+ mass;allcandidates are kept.

Therightplotin Fig. 1displaystheJK+K−K+invariant-mass distribution after making the following tighter requirements: the

pT of the kaons must be greater than 1.5 GeV, the B+ vertex probability mustbegreaterthan 10%, theB+ vertexmustbe dis-placedfromtheprimaryvertexinthetransverseplanebyatleast seven timesitsuncertainty,andm(K+K−)mustbe within7 MeV of the φ meson mass [27]. With theserequirements, 40% of the B+ candidates are retained, while the background is reducedby more than a factor of ten. This sample of cleaner signal candi-datesisusedasacross-checkoftheresultsobtainedbyemploying the background-corrected J/ψφ mass spectrum, asdescribed be-low.Withtheexceptionofthiscross-check,allresultsareobtained withtheless-restrictivecriteria.

Fig. 2 shows the K+K− invariant-mass distribution for JK+K−K+ candidatesthat have an invariant mass within ±3σ

The fit has a χ2 probability of 23% andreturns a mass of 1019.4±0.1 MeV and a width of 4.7±0.4 MeV, consistent with the φ meson [27]. The good fit to only a φ component in Fig. 2 indicates that after the J and φ mass requirements are made and the combinatorial background is subtracted, the

B+→μ+μ−K+K−K+ candidates are consistentwithbeingsolely J/ψφK+,withnegligiblecontribution fromJf0(980)K+ or non-resonantJK+K−K+.

As seen in Fig. 1, there are two main components to the J/ψφK+ invariant-mass spectrum: the B+ signal and a smooth background.PossiblecontributionsfromotherB-hadrondecaysare examinedusingMCsimulationsofinclusiveB+,B0,andB0s decays.

ToinvestigatetheJ/ψφinvariant-massdistribution,ratherthan fitting the distribution itself with its large combinatorial back-ground, the J/ψφK+ candidates are divided into 20 MeV-wide

m intervals,and theJ/ψφK+ massdistributions for each inter-valare fit toextract the B+ signal yieldin that interval. Weuse asecond-degreepolynomialforthecombinatorialbackgroundand twoGaussiansfortheB+signal.Thefitisperformedseparatelyfor eachdataset.The meanvaluesofthe twoGaussiansarefixed to theB+mass[27],andthewidthvaluesoftheGaussians,aswellas theirrelativeratio,arefixed tothevaluesobtainedfromMC sim-ulationforeach specific m intervalineachdataset.Theresults ofallthefits aregooddescriptions ofthedatadistributions with anaverage χ2 perdegreeoffreedom(dof)closeto1.Theresulting

The ef-fectofeitherpolarizationisfoundtobenegligible.Themeasured efficiencyisfairly uniform,varying bylessthan25% overthe en-tire allowed three-body PS. Assuming a uniform PS distribution, the efficiencyforeach m binis takento be the averageof the efficiencies over the fullkinematically allowed m(φK+) range.To estimatethesystematicuncertaintyintheefficiencycausedbyits dependenceontheunknownquantumnumbersofthestructures, andhence ontheir unknown decay angulardistributions, the ef-ficiency is evaluated under the assumption of both a cos2θ and sin2θ dependence,where θ is the helicity angle, defined as the anglein the J/ψφ rest framebetween thedirectionof theboost from the laboratory frame and the J direction. Since the effi-ciencytends tobe lower towardstheedge oftheDalitz plot,the cos2θ dependence gives a lower average efficiency than the de-faultefficiency,whilethesin2θdependencegivesaslightlyhigher average efficiency.Thisvariation (10%) istakenas thesystematic uncertainty in the efficiency from our lack of knowledge of the quantumnumbersofthestructuresandtheeffectsofinterference withpossibletwo-bodyresonances.

We investigate the possibility that the two structures in the

m distribution arecausedby reflectionsfromresonancesin the other two-body systems, JK+ and φK+. Such reflections are well known in the two-bodysystems from other three-body de-cays because ofkinematic constraints.There are candidate states that decay to φK+ [27], although they are not well established. These could potentially produce reflected structures inthe J/ψφ

spectrum. In particular, a D-wave contribution to K−p scatter-ing in the mass region around 1.7–1.8 GeV has been reported byseveralfixed-targetexperiments[29–31].This isinterpretedas two interferingbroad JP=2resonances, labeled K2(1770) and

φK+ spectrum,we considerφK+resonances withvariousmasses, widths,andhelicityangledistributions,butarenotableto repro-ducethe patternofstructuresseeninthe J/ψφ spectrum. More-over, we separately analyze the J/ψφ spectrum forvalues ofthe

φK+ masseslargerthan1.9 GeV, aregionoftheDalitzplot unaf-fectedby postulatedφK+ resonances,andstillobserve the struc-turenear m=1.2 GeV.

There are nocandidate JK+ resonancesreported inthe lit-erature. Still, we have considered such resonances with various masses, widths, and helicity angle distributions. No combination produces a reflected spectrum that matches the observed J/ψφ

spectrum.

Wehavealsocheckedtheeventswith m largerthan1.568 GeV that had been eliminated from the analysis to ensure that they could not cause similar reflections in the low- m region. After subtraction of the B0s background the m distribution of events with m larger than 1.568 GeVisconsistent withthe prediction based on the three-body phase-space hypothesis for the non-resonantbackground.(Pleaseseethesupplementalmaterialinthe online version at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2014.05.055 forplots.)

The results ofthese studies make it improbable that the two structuresseen inthe J/ψφ spectrumaresolelycausedby

reflec-tionsfromresonancesintheothertwo-bodysystems.However,we cannot entirelyexcludethepossibilityofsuchresonances.For in-stance, theK+K−K+ spectrumshownin Fig. 4displays an excess of events above the predictedPS distribution in the 1.7–1.8 GeV region,an excessthatcannotbe attributedtothepresenceofthe J/ψφ structure nearthreshold. Fig. 4is obtainedby dividing the J/ψφK+candidatesinto40 MeV-wideK+K−K+massintervalsand fittingtheJ/ψφK+invariant-massdistributionsforeachintervalto extracttheB+signalyieldinthatinterval.The m distribution af-terexcludingtheregion(1.68<m(K+K−K+)<1.88 GeV)withthe excessofeventsisshownintheleft plotof Fig. 5andthe corre-spondingdistributionfortheexcluded m regionintherightplot. The presence of thelower-mass structure is still apparent in the leftplot,whilethatofthehigher-massstructureisreducedthough still visible.PossibleinterferenceeffectsovertheDalitzplotcould thereforedistorttheshapeoftheobservedJ/ψφ structuresand af-fecttheextractionoftheresonanceparameters.Theeventsample isnotlargeenoughtoinvestigatetheseeffectsfurther.Weassume thatanyinterferenceeffectscanbeneglected.Thestructuresinthe J/ψφ massspectrum are described intermsof zero,one,ortwo noninterfering resonances anda nonresonant continuum compo-nent.

We fit the two structures with S-wave relativistic BW func-tions convolved witha Gaussian mass resolution function whose widthvarieslinearlyfrom1 MeVatthresholdtoabout4 MeVat

Themassesandwidthsofthetwo structuresare extractedby dividing the J/ψφK+ candidates into 20 MeV-wide intervals of

The two data sets are fitted sep-arately, witha total of 56 mass spectra fitted simultaneously. In eachfit, theB+ massis fixed toits nominalvalue and themass resolutionδiscalculatedusing:

The UML fit returns signal eventyieldsof310±70(stat.)and418±170(stat.)forthe lower-andhigher-massstructures, respectively. The corresponding mass differenceandwidthvaluesare: m1=1051.3±2.4(stat.)MeV,

Toevaluatethesignificanceofeachofthetwostructures,three UML and three 1D (binned χ2) fits are performed on the data shownin Fig. 3:(1) abackground-onlyfit(null-hypothesis);(2) a background plus a single S-wave relativistic BW signal function convolvedwitha Gaussian resolution function havinga widthof 2 MeVfor the lower-mass structure; and(3) a background plus two S-wave relativistic BW functions convolved witha Gaussian resolutionfunctiontomodelbothstructures.Thelog-likelihood ra-tio−2 lnLinthecaseoftheUMLfitsorthe χ2change χ2 for the1Dfitsbetween(1)and(2)isthenameasureofthestatistical significanceofthe lower-massstructure, whilethe corresponding values betweenfits (2)and (3) give a measure of the statistical significanceofthehigher-massstructure. Theresultingvalues for a decreasein dofof 3 are −2 lnL=58 and χ2=53 for the lower-mass structure, and 36 and 37 for the higher-mass struc-ture.

Simulated samples are used to estimate the probability that background fluctuationsalone could give rise to a signal as sig-nificant as that seen in the data for the lower-mass structure.

Because the sec-ond structure could be affected by possible φK+ resonances, it is difficult to model the background shape in that mass range, andwe do not quote a numeric significancefor the higher-mass structure.However, there isclearevidencefora second structure around m=1.2 GeV even afterexcluding the region with pos-sibleK2 resonances.There isalsoasmallexcessofeventsaround

4. Summary

In summary, a peaking structure in the J/ψφ mass spectrum fromB+→J/ψφK+ decays hasbeenobservedinpp collisions at √

s=7 TeV by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC. Assuming an

S-waverelativisticBW lineshapeforthisstructure abovea three-bodyPSshapeforthenonresonantbackground,astatistical signif-icanceofgreater than5standard deviationsisfound. Addingthe J mass [27] to the extracted m values, the mass and width aremeasuredtobem1=4148.0±2.4(stat.)±6.3(syst.)MeV and

Γ1=28+1511(stat.)±19(syst.)MeV.Themeasuredmassandwidth are consistent with the Y(4140) values reported by CDF experi-ment.Therelativebranchingfractionofthispeakingstructurewith respecttothetotal numberofB+→J/ψφK+ eventsisestimated tobe about0.10,withastatisticaluncertaintyofabout 30%. This is consistent with both the value measured by CDF of 15%±5% andtheupperlimitreportedbyLHCb(0.07).Inaddition,evidence fora second peaking structure is found in the same mass spec-trum, with measured mass and width values of m2=4313.8± 5.3(stat.)±7.3(syst.)MeV andΓ2=38+3015(stat.)±16(syst.)MeV. Becauseofpossiblereflectionsfromtwo-bodydecays,the statisti-cal significance of the second structure cannot be reliably deter-mined. The two structures are well above thethreshold of open charm (DD) decays and have relatively narrow widths. Conven-tionalcharmoniummesonswiththesemasseswouldbeexpected tohavelargerwidthsandtodecaypredominantlyintoopencharm pairswithsmallbranchingfractionsintoJ/ψφ.Angularanalysesof theB+→J/ψφK+decayswouldhelpelucidatethenatureofthese structures.
