Abstract
We present results of a search for the X(3872) in B0→X(3872)KS0,X(3872)→J/ψπ+π−, improved measurements of B−→X(3872)K−, and a study of the J/ψπ+π− mass region above the X(3872). We use 232×106 BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e− asymmetric-energy storage rings. The results include the 90% confidence interval 1.34×10−6<B(B0→X(3872)K0,X→J/ψπ+π−)<10.3×10−6 and the branching fraction B(B−→X(3872)K−,X→J/ψπ+π−)=(10.1±2.5±1.0)×10−6. We observe a (2.7±1.3±0.2)MeV/c2 mass difference of the X(3872) produced in the two decay modes. Furthermore, we search for the Y(4260) in B decays and set the 95% C.L. upper limit B(B−→Y(4260)K−,Y(4260)→J/ψπ+π−)<2.9×10−5.
