Decays of Bs and B0 mesons into J/psi pi +pi -pi +pi - final states, produced in pp collisions at the LHC, are investigated using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3/fb collected with the LHCb detector. B^0_(s) -> Jpsi f_1(1285) decays are seen for the first time, and the branching fractions are measured. Using these rates, the f_1(1285) mixing angle between strange and non-strange components of its wave function in the q-qbar structure model is determined to be pm (24.0^{+3.1+0.6}_{-2.6-0.8}) degrees. Implications on the possible tetraquark nature of the f_1(1285) are discussed.

The $f_1(1285)$ meson with mass $1281.0 pm 0.8$ MeV/$c^2$ and width $18.4 pm 1.4$ MeV (FWHM) was measured for the first time in photoproduction from a proton target using CLAS at Jefferson Lab. Differential cross sections were obtained via the $etapi^{+}pi^{-}$, $K^+bar{K}^0pi^-$, and $K^-K^0pi^+$ decay channels from threshold up to a center-of-mass energy of 2.8 GeV. The mass, width, and an amplitude analysis of the $etapi^{+}pi^{-}$ final-state Dalitz distribution are consistent with the axial-vector $J^P=1^+$ $f_1(1285)$ identity, rather than the pseudoscalar $0^-$ $eta(1295)$. The production mechanism is more consistent with $s$-channel decay of a high-mass $N^*$ state, and not with $t$-channel meson exchange. Decays to $etapipi$ go dominantly via the intermediate $a_0^pm(980)pi^mp$ states, with the branching ratio $Gamma(a_0pi text{ (no} bar{K} Ktext{)}) / Gamma(etapipi text{(all)}) = 0.74pm0.09$. The branching ratios $Gamma(K bar{K} pi)/Gamma(etapipi) = 0.216pm0.033$ and $Gamma(gammarho^0)/Gamma(etapipi) = 0.047pm0.018$ were also obtained. The first is in agreement with previous data for the $f_1(1285)$, while the latter is lower than the world average.
Using a sample of $448.1times10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform a study of the decay $psi(3686) rightarrow phi pi^{+}pi^{-}eta$. The branching fraction of $psi(3686)rightarrowphieta^prime$ is determined to be $(1.51pm0.16pm0.12)times 10^{-5}$, which is consistent with the previous measurement but with significantly improved precision. The resonances $f_{1}(1285)$ and $eta(1405)$ are clearly observed in the $pi^{+}pi^{-}eta$ mass spectrum with statistical significances of $18sigma$ and $9.7sigma$, respectively. The corresponding product branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal{B}(psi(3686)rightarrowphi f_{1}(1285),f_{1}(1285)rightarrowpi^{+}pi^{-}eta) =(1.03pm0.10pm0.09)times 10^{-5}$ and $mathcal{B}(psi(3686)rightarrowphieta(1405),eta(1405)rightarrowpi^{+}pi^{-}eta) =(8.46pm1.37pm0.92)times 10^{-6}$.
We study the decay processes of $bar{B}^0 to J/psi bar{K}^{*0} K^0$ and $bar{B}^0 to J/psi f_1(1285)$ to analyse the $f_1(1285)$ resonance. By the calculation within chiral unitary approach where $f_1(1285)$ resonance is dynamically generated from the $K^*bar{K}-c.c.$ interaction, we find that the $bar{K}^{*0} K^0$ invariant mass distribution has a clear broad peak. Such broad peak has been understood as the signal of the $f_1(1285)$. Finally, we obtain a theoretical result $R_t=Gamma_{bar{B}^0 to J/psi bar{K}^{*0} K^0}/Gamma_{bar{B}^0 to J/psi f_1(1285)}$ which is expected to be compared with the experimental data.
A search for direct production of the $f_1(1285)$ resonance in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The analysis is based on data with an integrated luminosity of 15.1 pb$^{-1}$ accumulated in the center-of-mass energy range 1.2--1.4 GeV. Two $e^+e^-to f_1(1285)$ candidate events are found at the peak of the resonance and zero events beyond the resonance. The significance of the $e^+e^-to f_1(1285)$ signal is $2.5sigma$. The cross section at the maximum of the resonance is found to be $sigma(e^+e^-to f_1)=45^{+33}_{-24}$ pb. The corresponding branching fraction $B(f_1(1285)to e^+e^-)=(5.1^{+3.7}_{-2.7})times 10^{-9}$. We consider this result as a first indication of the process $e^+e^-to f_1(1285)$. The measured branching fraction is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
The first observation of the decays $B^0_{(s)} to J/psi p overline{p}$ is reported, using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.2{text{,fb}}^{-1}$, collected with the mbox{LHCb}xspace detector. These decays are suppressed due to limited available phase space, as well as due to Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka or Cabibbo suppression. The measured branching fractions are begin{align*} mathcal{B}(B^0 to J/psi p overline{p}) &= (4.51pm 0.40; text{(stat)} pm 0.44; text{(syst)}) times 10^{-7}, mathcal{B}(B^0_s to J/psi p overline{p}) &= (3.58pm 0.19; text{(stat)} pm 0.39; text{(syst)}) times 10^{-6}. end{align*} For the $B^0_s$ meson, the result is much higher than the expected value of $ {cal O} (10^{-9})$. The small available phase space in these decays also allows for the most precise single measurement of both the $B^0$ mass as ${5279.74 pm 0.30; ({rm stat})pm 0.10; ({rm syst})}$ MeV, and the $B^0_s$ mass as ${5366.85 pm 0.19; ({rm stat})pm 0.13; ({rm syst})}$ MeV.
