The first observation of exotic states with a new quark content $c bar{c} u bar{s}$ decaying to the $J/psi K^+$ final state is reported with high significance from an amplitude analysis of the $B^+ to J/psi phi K^+$ decay. The analysis is carried out using proton-proton collision data corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The most significant state, $Z_{cs}(4000)^+$, has a mass of $4003pm6,^{+,phantom{0}4}_{-,14}$ MeV, a width of $131pm15pm26$ MeV, and spin-parity $J^P=1^+$, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. A new $1^+$ $X(4685)$ state decaying to the $J/psi phi$ final state is also observed with high significance. In addition, the four previously reported $J/psi phi$ states are confirmed and two more exotic states, $Z_{cs}(4220)^+$ and $X(4630)$, are observed with significance exceeding five standard deviations.

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)%.
Observations of exotic structures in the $J/psi p$ channel, that we refer to as pentaquark-charmonium states, in $Lambda_b^0to J/psi K^- p$ decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3/fb acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions. An amplitude analysis is performed on the three-body final-state that reproduces the two-body mass and angular distributions. To obtain a satisfactory fit of the structures seen in the $J/psi p$ mass spectrum, it is necessary to include two Breit-Wigner amplitudes that each describe a resonant state. The significance of each of these resonances is more than 9 standard deviations. One has a mass of $4380pm 8pm 29$ MeV and a width of $205pm 18pm 86$ MeV, while the second is narrower, with a mass of $4449.8pm 1.7pm 2.5$ MeV and a width of $39pm 5pm 19$ MeV. The preferred $J^P$ assignments are of opposite parity, with one state having spin 3/2 and the other 5/2.
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.
The $B_s^0 rightarrow J/psi phi phi$ decay is observed in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. This is the first observation of this decay channel, with a statistical significance of 15 standard deviations. The mass of the $B_s^0$ meson is measured to be $5367.08,pm ,0.38,pm, 0.15$ MeV/c$^2$. The branching fraction ratio $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 rightarrow J/psi phi phi)/mathcal{B}(B_s^0 rightarrow J/psi phi)$ is measured to be $0.0115,pm, 0.0012, ^{+0.0005}_{-0.0009}$. In both cases, the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No evidence for non-resonant $B_s^0 rightarrow J/psi phi K^+ K^-$ or $B_s^0 rightarrow J/psi K^+ K^- K^+ K^-$ decays is found.
