Abstract

The first observation of a new meson state decaying into Bc+ and a photon is presented using a dataset of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=13  TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140  fb−1. The Bc+ mesons are reconstructed from a three-muon final state from Bc+→J/ψ(μ+μ−)μ+νμX decays, along with photons reconstructed via conversions to electron-positron pairs in the detector material. The new state is observed with a significance that exceeds 8 standard deviations. The mass difference between the new meson state and the ground-state Bc+ meson is measured to be 64.5±1.4(stat) −1.4+1.0(syst)  MeV. This corresponds to a mass for the observed state of 6339.0±1.4(stat) −1.4+1.0(syst)±0.3(mBc+)   MeV, where the last uncertainty is due to the precision of the best knowledge of the Bc+ meson mass. The low mass difference value matches the theory expectations for the lowest vector state of the b¯c system, the Bc*+ meson.

  40. ATLAS uses a right-handed coordinate system with its origin at the nominal interaction point in the center of the detector and the z axis along the beam line. Polar coordinates (r,ϕ) are used in the transverse plane, ϕ being the azimuthal angle around the z axis. The pseudorapidity is defined in terms of the polar angle θ as η=−lntan(θ/2), and the transverse momentum is defined relative to the beam line as pT=psinθ.
