Observation of a new charged charmoniumlike state in B -> J/psi K pi decays
Abstract
We present the results of an amplitude analysis of anti-B0 -> J/psi K- pi+ decays. A new charged charmoniumlike state Zc(4200)+ decaying to J/psi pi+ is observed with a significance of 6.2 sigma. The mass and width of the Zc(4200)+ are 4196 +31-29 +17-13 MeV/c2 and 370 +70-70 +70-132 MeV, respectively; the preferred assignment of the quantum numbers is JP = 1+. In addition, we find evidence for Zc(4430)+ -> J/psi pi+. The analysis is based on a 711 fb-1 data sample collected by the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider KEKB.
