Description
Summary:A Dalitz plot analysis of B0→ηc(1S)K+π−B0→ηc(1S)K+π−{{B} ^0} \!\rightarrow \eta _c(1S) {{K} ^+} {{\pi } ^-} decays is performed using data samples of pp collisions collected with the LHCb LHCb \text{ LHCb } detector at centre-of-mass energies of s√=7, 8s=7, 8{\sqrt{s}} =7,~8 and 13TeV13TeV13{\,\mathrm {Te}\mathrm {V}} , corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb −14.7 fb −14.7 \,\text{ fb }^{-1} . A satisfactory description of the data is obtained when including a contribution representing an exotic ηc(1S)π−ηc(1S)π−\eta _c(1S) \pi ^- resonant state. The significance of this exotic resonance is more than three standard deviations, while its mass and width are 4096±20 +18−22MeV4096±20 −22+18MeV4096 \pm 20~^{+18}_{-22} \,\mathrm {Me}\mathrm {V} and 152±58 +60−35MeV152±58 −35+60MeV152 \pm 58~^{+60}_{-35} \,\mathrm {Me}\mathrm {V} , respectively. The spin-parity assignments JP=0+JP=0+J^P=0^+ and JP=1−JP=1−J^{P}=1^- are both consistent with the data. In addition, the first measurement of the B0→ηc(1S)K+π−B0→ηc(1S)K+π−{{B} ^0} \!\rightarrow \eta _c(1S) {{K} ^+} {{\pi } ^-} branching fraction is performed and gives B(B0→ηc(1S)K+π−)=(5.73±0.24±0.13±0.66)×10−4,B(B0→ηc(1S)K+π−)=(5.73±0.24±0.13±0.66)×10−4,\begin{aligned} \displaystyle \mathcal {B}({{B} ^0} \!\rightarrow \eta _c(1S) {{K} ^+} {{\pi } ^-} ) = (5.73 \pm 0.24 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.66) \times 10^{-4}, \end{aligned}where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is due to limited knowledge of external branching fractions.
