Abstract
Using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at in 2016–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of , the first full reconstruction of the three vector meson states, , , and , is performed. The mass differences between the excited mesons and their corresponding ground states are measured to be , , and , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results improve on the precision of previous measurements by an order of magnitude.
