A narrow pentaquark state, P c ð4312Þ þ , decaying to J=ψp, is discovered with a statistical significance of 7.3σ in a data sample of Λ 0 b → J=ψpK − decays, which is an order of magnitude larger than that previously analyzed by the LHCb Collaboration. The P c ð4450Þ þ pentaquark structure formerly reported by LHCb is confirmed and observed to consist of two narrow overlapping peaks, P c ð4440Þ þ and P c ð4457Þ þ , where the statistical significance of this two-peak interpretation is 5.4σ. The proximity of the Σ þ cD 0 and Σ þ cD Ã0 thresholds to the observed narrow peaks suggests that they play an important role in the dynamics of these states.
An angular analysis of the B 0 → K Ã0 ð→ K þ π − Þμ þ μ − decay is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb −1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. The full set of CP-averaged observables are determined in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system. Contamination from decays with the K þ π − system in an S-wave configuration is taken into account. The tension seen between the previous LHCb results and the standard model predictions persists with the new data. The precise value of the significance of this tension depends on the choice of theory nuisance parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
