Abstract: (Springer)
The first full amplitude analysis of B → ψ(2S)Kππ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb recorded with the LHCb detector. The rich Kππ spectrum is studied and the branching fractions of the resonant substructure associated with the prominent K(1270) contribution are measured. The data cannot be described by conventional strange and charmonium resonances only. An amplitude model with 53 components is developed comprising 11 hidden-charm exotic hadrons. New production mechanisms for charged charmonium-like states are observed. Significant resonant activity with spin-parity J = 1 in the ψ(2S)π system is confirmed and a multi-pole structure is demonstrated. The spectral decomposition of the ψ(2S)ππ invariant-mass structure, dominated by X → ψ(2S)ρ(770) decays, broadly resembles the J/ψϕ spectrum observed in B → J/ψϕK decays. Exotic ψ(2S)Kπ resonances are observed for the first time.[graphic not available: see fulltext]Note:
