Observation and properties of the orbitally excited B_{s2}* Meson

arXiv:0711.0319 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.082002

Abstract

We report the direct observation of the excited L=1 state B_{s2}* in fully reconstructed decays to B+K-. The mass of the B_{s2}* meson is measured to be {5839.6 +- 1.1 (stat.) +- 0.7 (syst.) MeV/c^2, and its production rate relative to the B+ meson is measured to be [1.15 +- 0.23 (stat.) +- 0.13 (syst.)] %.
