Observation of the decay B^+ → ψ(2S)ϕ(1020)K^+ in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV

Abstract

The decay B^+ → ψ (2S) ϕ(1020)K^+B^+ → ψ(2S)ϕ(1020)K^+ is observed for the first time using data collected from pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb^(-1). The branching fraction of this decay is measured, using the mode B+→ψ(2S)K+B+→ψ(2S)K+ as normalization, to be (4.0±0.4(stat) ± 0.6(syst)±0.2(B))×10^(−6), where the third uncertainty is from the measured branching fraction of the normalization channel.
