Observation of (B)over-bar(s)(0) -> J/psi f '(2)(1525) in J/psi K(+)K(-)Final States

Abstract

The decay (B) over bar (0)(s) (->) J/psi K+K- is investigated using 0:16 fb(-)1 of data collected with the LHCb detector using 7 TeV pp collisions. Although the J/00 psi phi channel is well known, final states at higher K+K- masses have not previously been studied. In the K+K- mass spectrum we observe a significant signal in the f'(2)(1525) region as well as a nonresonant component. After subtracting the nonresonant component, we find (B) over bar (0)(s) (->) J/psi f'(2)(1525))/(B)over bar>(0)(s) (->) J/psi phi)=(26.4 +/- 2.7 +/- 2.4)%.

Bar (establishment)

A bar, also known as a saloon, a tavern or tippling house, or sometimes as a pub or club, is a retail business establishment that serves alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, liquor, cocktails, and other beverages such as mineral water and soft drinks. Bars often also sell snack foods, such as crisps or peanuts, for consumption on their premises. Some types of bars, such as pubs, may also serve food from a restaurant menu. The term "bar" refers to the countertop where drinks are prepared and served, and by extension to the overall premises.

Beta decay

In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits a beta particle (fast energetic electron or positron), transforming into an isobar of that nuclide. For example, beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron accompanied by an antineutrino; or, conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron with a neutrino in so-called positron emission.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha, beta, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting particles. The weak force is the mechanism that is responsible for beta decay, while the other two are governed by the electromagnetism and nuclear force.
