abstract

The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$ with $J/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^-$, $\phi\to K^+K^-$ 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 $J/\psi\phi$ 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.

Hard Probes in Ultraperipheral Collisions at LHCb

nucl-ex · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

LHCb summarizes high-precision quarkonia data from ultraperipheral collisions and new forward-rapidity measurements of ρ(770) and φ(1020) mesons compared to theoretical models.

Production of high-orbital kaon excited states in the $K^{-}p$ reaction

hep-ph · 2026-06-14 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

An effective Lagrangian approach calibrated with one adjustable parameter from data reproduces cross sections for K3*(1780), K2(1820), K2(1770) and K4*(2045) and predicts sizable forward-peaked production for additional high-orbital kaons in K-p reactions.
