Abstract

We report first observations of B-s(0) -> J/psi eta and B-s(0) -> J/psi eta'. The results are obtained from 121.4 fb(-1) of data collected at the Gamma(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider. We obtain the branching fractions B(B-s(0)-> J/psi eta')=[5.10 +/- 0.50(stat)+/- 0.25(syst)(-0.79)(+1.14)(N-Bs()(B) over bars()] X 10(-4,) B(B-s(0)-> J/psi eta') = [3.71 +/- 0.61(stat)+/-(+0.83)(-0.57)(N-Bs()(B) over bars()] X 10(-4). The ratio of the two branching fractions is measured to be B(B-s -> J/psi eta')/B(B-s -> J/psi eta) = 0.73 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.02(syst).

Collider

A collider is a type of particle accelerator that brings two opposing particle beams together such that the particles collide. Colliders may either be ring accelerators or linear accelerators. Colliders are used as a research tool in particle physics by accelerating particles to very high kinetic energy and letting them impact other particles. Analysis of the byproducts of these collisions gives scientists good evidence of the structure of the subatomic world and the laws of nature governing it.

Belle experiment

The Belle experiment was a particle physics experiment conducted by the Belle Collaboration, an international collaboration of more than 400 physicists and engineers, at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK) in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. The experiment ran from 1999 to 2010. The Belle detector was located at the collision point of the asymmetric-energy electron–positron collider, KEKB.

Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories, as well as more than 100 countries. It lies in a tunnel in circumference and as deep as beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva. The first collisions were achieved in 2010 at an energy of 3.
