Study of χ c 1 and χ c 2 meson production in B meson decays

چکیده
Using a sample of 9.7 × 10 BB meson pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we study B decays to the χc1 and χc2 charmonia states, which are reconstructed via their radiative decays to J/ψ. We first measure the branching fraction for inclusive χc1 production in B decays to be B(B → χc1X) = (4.14 ± 0.31 ± 0.40) × 10 , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. We derive the branching fractions for direct χc1 and χc2 production in B decays by subtracting the known contribution of the decay chain B → ψ(2S)X with ψ(2S) → χc1,2γ. We obtain B[B → χc1(direct)X] = (3.83±0.31±0.40)×10 −3 . No statistically significant signal for χc2 production is observed in either case. Using the Feldman-Cousins approach, we determine the 95% confidence intervals to be [0.2, 2.0] × 10 for B(B → χc2X), [0.0, 1.7] × 10 −3 for B[B → χc2(direct)X], and [0.00, 0.44] for the ratio Γ[B → χc2(direct)X]/Γ[B → χc1(direct)X]. We also measure the branching ratio Γ[B → χc2(direct)Xs]/Γ[B → χc1(direct)Xs] for different Xs configurations by reconstructing B decays into exclusive final states with J/ψ, γ, a kaon, and up to four pions. For all the Xs configurations we observe a strong χc1 signal yet no statistically significant χc2 signal. We discuss how our results compare with theoretical predictions in different models of charmonium production.

Study of B meson (meson with the bottom quark flavor) in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is of special importance so that the detector LHCb is devoted to investigate these types of mesons. For this reason, in this paper we will study the production process of this meson in a phenomenological approach using the experimental data from electron-positron annihilation. In this regards, we shall calculat...

The semileptonic decays of meson Bc to a P-wave charmonium state χc( PJ) or hc( P1) are computed. The results show that the decays are sizable so they are accessible in Tevatron and in LHC, especially, with the detectors LHCB and BTeV in the foreseeable future, and of them, the one to the P1 charmonium state potentially offers us a novel window to see the unconfirmed hc particle. In addition, i...
