Abstract
The results of a search for the bottomonium counterpart, denoted as X_b, of the exotic charmonium state X(3872) is presented. The analysis is based on a sample of pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb^(−1). The search looks for the exclusive decay channel X_b→ϒ(1S)π^+π^− followed by ϒ(1S)→μ^+μ^−. No evidence for an X_b signal is observed. Upper limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the ratio of the inclusive production cross sections times the branching fractions to ϒ(1S)π^+π^− of the X_b and the ϒ(2S). The upper limits on the ratio are in the range 0.9–5.4% for X_b masses between 10 and 11 GeV. These are the first upper limits on the production of a possible X_b at a hadron collider.
