We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay $B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)$, evidence and a branching fraction measurement for $B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)$, and the determination of the total $B^0_sto J/psi,K^+K^-$ branching fraction, including the resonant and non-resonant contributions to the $K^+K^-$ channel. We also determine the $S$-wave contribution within the $phi(1020)$ mass region. The absolute branching fractions are $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)]=(1.25 pm 0.07left(mathrm{stat}right)pm 0.08left(mathrm{syst}right)pm 0.22left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$, $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)]=(0.26pm 0.06left(mathrm{stat}right)pm 0.02left(mathrm{syst}right) pm 0.05left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$ and $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,K^+K^-] = (1.01pm 0.09left(mathrm{stat}right) pm 0.10left(mathrm{syst}right)pm 0.18left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$, where the last systematic error is due to the branching fraction of $bbar{b}to B^{(*)}_s B^{(*)}_s$. The branching fraction ratio is found to be $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)]/mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)]=(21.5pm 4.9left(mathrm{stat}right) pm2.6left(mathrm{syst}right))%$. All results are based on a 121.4 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at the $Upsilon(5S)$ resonance by the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider.
The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+to J/psi phi K^+$ with $J/psitomu^+mu^-$, $phito K^+K^-$ decays is performed with a data sample of 3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at $sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV with the LHCb detector. The data cannot be described by a model that contains only excited kaon states decaying into $phi K^+$, and four $J/psiphi$ structures are observed, each with significance over $5$ standard deviations. The quantum numbers of these structures are determined with significance of at least $4$ standard deviations. The lightest has mass consistent with, but width much larger than, previous measurements of the claimed $X(4140)$ state. The model includes significant contributions from a number of expected kaon excitations, including the first observation of the $K^{*}(1680)^+tophi K^+$ transition.
A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of $B^0_sto J/psiphi$ decays is presented where the $J/psi$ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an $e^+e^-$ pair. The analysis uses a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The $CP$-violating phase and lifetime parameters of the $B^0_s$ system are measured to be $phi_s=0.00pm0.28pm0.07$ rad, $DeltaGamma_s=0.115pm0.045pm0.011$ ps$^{-1}$ and $Gamma_s=0.608pm0.018pm0.012$ ps$^{-1}$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that $CP$-violating parameters are measured in the $B^0_sto J/psiphi$ decay with an $e^+e^-$ pair in the final state. The results are consistent with previous measurements in other channels and with the Standard Model predictions.
A search for the rare decay of a $B^{0}$ or $B^{0}_{s}$ meson into the final state $J/psigamma$ is performed, using data collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The observed number of signal candidates is consistent with a background-only hypothesis. Branching fraction values larger than $1.7times 10^{-6}$ for the $B^{0}to J/psigamma$ decay mode are excluded at 90% confidence level. For the $B^{0}_{s}to J/psigamma$ decay mode, branching fraction values larger than $7.4times 10^{-6}$ are excluded at 90% confidence level, this is the first branching fraction limit for this decay.
The decay Bs -> J/psi K+ K- is investigated using 0.16/fb of data collected with the LHCb detector using 7 TeV pp collisions. Although the J/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 f2(1525) region as well as a non-resonant component. After subtracting the non-resonant component, we find B(Bs->J/psi f_2(1525))/B(Bs->J/psi phi)=(26.4 +/- 2.7 +/- 2.4)%.
A measurement is presented of decay-time-dependent $CP$ violation in the decays $B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}$ and $B^0rightarrowpsi(2S) K^0_mathrm{S}$, where the $J/psi$ is reconstructed from two electrons and the $psi(2S)$ from two muons. The analysis uses a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The $CP$-violation observables are measured to be begin{equation*} begin{aligned} Cleft(B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+},0.12,pm,0.07pm,0.02,, Sleft(B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+},0.83,pm,0.08pm,0.01,, Cleft(B^0rightarrowpsi(2S) K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=-,0.05,pm,0.10pm,0.01,, Sleft(B^0rightarrowpsi(2S) K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+},0.84,pm,0.10pm,0.01,, end{aligned} end{equation*} where $C$ describes $CP$ violation in the direct decay, and $S$ describes $CP$ violation in the interference between the amplitudes for the direct decay and for the decay after $B^0$-$overline{B}^0$ oscillation. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The two sets of results are compatible with the previous LHCb measurement using $B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}$ decays, where the $J/psi$ meson was reconstructed from two muons. The averages of all three sets of LHCb results are begin{equation*} begin{aligned} Cleft(B^0rightarrow[cbar{c}]K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=-0.017 pm 0.029,, Sleft(B^0rightarrow[cbar{c}]K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+}0.760 pm 0.034,, end{aligned} end{equation*} under the assumption that higher-order contributions to the decay amplitudes are negligible. The uncertainties include statistical and systematic contributions.
