Data analysis  33 1/pb data collected with LHCb detector in 2010  J /ψ →μ+ μ− : opposite sign tracks pT > 500 MeV/c, identified as muons, vertex χ2/ndof < 11, tz = dZ(J/psi)/{Pjp/Mjp} > 0.5 ps | M(μ+ μ− ) – | < 48 MeV for further analysis 549, 000 ± 1100 J /ψ signal events in the entire mass range

J/psi -> μ+ μ− Crystal Ball function

 χ2( IP[ pi (or K) ] == 0) > 9 (pi and K tracks do not come from PV),  Perfect pi/K separation with RICH,  Opposite-sign di-pion candidates -> sum pT > 900 MeV  Opposite-sign di-kaon candidates -> o sum pT > 1000 MeV, o |M(K+ K-) – M(φ) | <20 MeV  B0s : two pions(+ and -) (or kaons) form vertex with a χ2< 10,  with the J /ψ they form the B0s vertex: χ2/ndof< 5,  Angle between P(this B0s candidate ) and direction to the PV <0.68◦ Data analysis(2)

Simulations to find out efficiency The efficiencies of having all four decay tracks in the geometric acceptance and satisfying the trigger, track reconstruction and data selection requirements are:  (1.471 ± 0.024)% for J/ψ f0,requiring the π+ π− invariant mass be within ±500 MeV of 980 MeV,  and (1.454 ± )%for J /ψ φ,having the K+ K− invariant mass be within ±20 MeV of the φ mass. [Monte Carlo events generated using PYTHIA [..], and LHCb detector simulation based on GEANT4 [..]. ] The uncertainties of the efficiencies are statistical only.

RESULTS

Mass (J /ψ K+ K−) (in φ-> K+ K− mode) Gaus + pol1 B0s mass = ± 0.4 MeV, width = 7.4 MeV 635± 26 events

Polarization in f0 mode S(B0s) = 0 S(J/ψ ) = 1 S(f0) = 0 J /ψ rest frame B0s f0 f0 rest frame μ+ μ-μ- θJ/ψ θJ/ψ should be distributed as [1− (cos θJ/ψ)^2)] B0s J/ψ π-π- θf0 θf0 should be distributed uniformly (~const) π+π+

Angular distributions of events within ± 30 MeV of the B0s mass and± 90 MeV of the f0 mass after like-sign background subtraction. because of efficiency&background effects [1− a*(cos θJ/ψ)^2)]; a= 0.81± 0.21 (fit result) χ2/ndof = 10.3 / 8 χ2/ndof = 15.9/9, Spin(J /ψ) perpendicular to its momentum and a spin-0 f0 meson.

Mass(π+ π−) | Mass(J /ψ π+ π−) = Mass(B0s) ± 30 MeV 265 ± 26 events, including 169(+31−21) f0 (980) events φ events taking into account efficiencises

Model-independent result {M(pi pi) = (980±90) MeV, here are 111 ± 14 events.}

Conclusions The first observation of a new CP-odd eigenstate decay mode of the B0s meson into J /ψ f0(980) has been made Using a fit including two interfering resonances, the f0(980 ) and f0(1370),the ratio to J /ψ φ production is measured as By selecting events within ±90 MeV of 980 MeV the ratio becomes R’ = ± ± The events around the f0(980) mass are large enough in Rate and have small enough backgrounds that they could be used to measure βs without angular analysis.
