Search for $X(3872)$ and $X(3915)$ decay into $chi_{c1} pi^0$ in $B$ decays at Belle


Abstract in English

We report a search for $X(3872)$ and $X(3915)$ in $B^+ to chi_{c1} pi^0 K^+$ decays. We set an upper limit of $mathcal{B}(B^+ to X(3872) K^+) times mathcal{B}(X(3872) to chi_{c1} pi^0)$ $ < 8.1 times 10^{-6}$ and $mathcal{B}(B^+ to X(3915) K^+) times mathcal{B}(X(3915) to chi_{c1} pi^0)$ $ < 3.8 times 10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level. We also measure $mathcal{B}(X(3872) to chi_{c1} pi^0)/mathcal{B}(X(3872) to J/psi pi^+ pi^-) < 0.97$ at 90% confidence level. The results reported here are obtained from $772 times 10^{6}$ $Boverline{B}$ events collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider.
