The quantum numbers of the X(3872) meson are determined to be JPC = 1++ based on angular correlations in B+ to X(3872) K+ decays, where X(3872) to pi+pi- J/psi and J/psi to μ+μ-.…

Observation of the h_c(1P) using e^+e^- collisions above DDbar threshold

CLEO Collaboration, T. K. Pedlar, D. Cronin-Hennessy +77

Using 586pb^-1 of e^+e^- collision data at E_CM = 4170MeV, produced at the CESR collider and collected with the CLEO-c detector, we observe the process e^+e^- --> pi^+ pi^- h_c(1P)…

First observation of the decays B0bar -->D+ K- pi+ pi- and B- --> D0 K- pi+ pi-

LHCb Collaboration, R. Aaij, C. Abellan Beteta +586

First observations of the Cabibbo suppressed decays B0bar -->D+ K- pi+ pi- and B- --> D0 K- pi+ pi- are reported using 35 pb^{-1} of data collected with the LHCb detector. Their br…
