Search for the $Z_1(4050{)}^{+}$ and $Z_2(4250{)}^{+}$ states in ${\bar{B}}^0\to {\chi }_{c1}{K}^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ and $B^{+}\to {\chi }_{c1}{K}_S^0{\pi }^{+}$

Abstract

We search for the $Z_1(4050{)}^{+}$ and $Z_2(4250{)}^{+}$ states, reported by the Belle Collaboration, decaying to ${\chi }_{c1}{\pi }^{+}$ in the decays ${\bar{B}}^0\to {\chi }_{c1}{K}^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ and $B^{+}\to {\chi }_{c1}{K}_S^0{\pi }^{+}$ where $χ_{c1} \to \jpsi γ$. The data were collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider operating at center-of-mass energy 10.58 GeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 429 fb${}^{-1}$. In this analysis, we model the background-subtracted, efficiency-corrected ${\chi }_{c1}\pi$ mass distribution using the $K\pi$ mass distribution and the corresponding normalized $K\pi$ Legendre polynomial moments, and then test the need for the inclusion of resonant structures in the description of the ${\chi }_{c1}\pi$ mass distribution. No evidence is found for the $Z_1(4050{)}^{+}$ and $Z_2(4250{)}^{+}$ resonances, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions are reported for the corresponding $B$-meson decay modes.
