Abstract: (arXiv)
Evidence is reported for a narrow structure near the J/ψϕJ/\psi\phi threshold in exclusive B+J/ψϕK+B^+\to J/\psi\phi K^+ decays produced in pˉp\bar{p} p collisions at \sqrt{s}=1.96 \TeV. A signal of 14±514\pm5 events, with statistical significance in excess of 3.8 standard deviations, is observed in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7 \ifb, collected by the CDF II detector. The mass and natural width of the structure are measured to be 4143.0\pm2.9(\mathrm{stat})\pm1.2(\mathrm{syst}) \MeVcc and 11.7^{+8.3}_{-5.0}(\mathrm{stat})\pm3.7(\mathrm{syst}) \MeVcc.
