Title: Observation of a Narrow Near-Threshold Structure in the $$J/\psi\phi$$ Mass Spectrum in $$B^+\to J/\psi\phi K^+$$ Decays

Conference ·
OSTI ID:992654

Observation is reported for a structure near the J/{psi}{phi} threshold in B{sup +} {yields} J/{psi}{phi}K{sup +} decays produced in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV with a statistical significance of beyond 5 standard deviations. There are 19 {+-} 6 events observed for this structure at a mass of 4143.4{sub -3.0}{sup +2.9}(stat) {+-} 0.6(syst) MeV/c{sup 2} and a width of 15.3{sub -6.1}{sup +10.4}(stat) {+-} 2.5(syst) MeV/c{sup 2}, which are consistent with the previous measurements reported as evidence of the Y(4140).
