Overview

abstract

  • The first observation of the decay Ξb−→ψ(2S)Ξ− and measurement of the branching ratio of Ξb−→ψ(2S)Ξ− to Ξb−→J/ψΞ− are presented. The J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay modes. The results are based on proton-proton colliding beam data from the LHC collected by the CMS experiment at s=13  TeV in 2016–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140  fb−1. The branching fraction ratio is measured to be B(Ξb−→ψ(2S)Ξ−)/B(Ξb−→J/ψΞ−)=0.84−0.19+0.21(stat)±0.10(syst)±0.02(B), where the last uncertainty comes from the uncertainties in the branching fractions of the charmonium states. New measurements of the Ξb(5945)0 baryon mass and natural width are also presented, using the Ξb−π+ final state, where the Ξb− baryon is reconstructed through the decays J/ψΞ−, ψ(2S)Ξ−, J/ψΛK−, and J/ψΣ0K−. Finally, the fraction of Ξb− baryons produced from Ξb(5945)0 decays is determined.; ; ; ; ; © 2024 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration; 2024; CERN; ; ;
