Abstract: (arXiv)
We present a study of the decays B0,+J/ψωK0,+B^{0,+}\to J/\psi\omega K^{0,+} using 383×106383\times 10^{6} BBˉB\bar{B} events obtained with the \babar detector at PEP-II. We observe Y(3940)J/ψωY(3940) \to J/\psi \omega, with mass 3914.63.4+3.8(stat)±2.0(syst)3914.6 ^{+3.8}_{-3.4} (stat) \pm{2.0} (syst) \mevcc, and width 348+12(stat)±5(syst)34^{+12}_{-8}(stat)\pm{5}(syst) \mev. The ratio of B0B^0 and B+B^+ decay to YKYK is 0.270.23+0.28(stat)0.01+0.04(syst)0.27^{+0.28}_{-0.23}(stat)^{+0.04}_{-0.01}(syst), and the relevant B0B^0 and B+B^+ branching fractions are reported.
