Abstract: (arXiv)
We investigate the decay Bs0J/ψK+KB_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi K^+ K^- for invariant masses of the K+KK^+K^- pair in the range 1.35<M(K+K)<21.35<M(K^+K^-)<2 GeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 10.4 fb1^{-1} of ppˉp \bar{p} collisions at s=1.96\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV accumulated with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. From the study of the invariant mass and spin of the K+KK^+K^- system, we find evidence for the two-body decay \bsf and measure the relative branching fraction of the decays \bsf and \bsdec to be Rf2/ϕ=0.19±0.05(stat)±0.04(syst)R_{f_2^{\prime}/\phi} = 0.19 \pm 0.05 \rm \thinspace{(stat)} \pm 0.04 \rm \thinspace{(syst)}.
