Evidence for the decay X(3872)→J/ψω

Abstract

We present a study of the decays B0,+→J/ ψπ+π-π0K0,+, using 467×106 BB̄ pairs recorded with the BABAR detector. We present evidence for the decay mode X(3872)→J/ψω, with product branching fractions B(B+→X(3872)K+)×B(X(3872)→J/ ψω)=[0.6±0.2(stat)±0.1(syst)]×10-5, and B(B0→X(3872)K0)×B(X(3872)→J/ψω)=[0.6±0.3(stat) ±0.1(syst)]×10-5. A detailed study of the π+π-π0 mass distribution from X(3872) decay favors a negative-parity assignment. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
