Measurement of $b$ hadron masses in exclusive $J/\psi$ decays with the CDF detector

Abstract

We measure the masses of $b$ hadrons in exclusively reconstructed final states containing a $J/\psi \to {\mu }^{-}{\mu }^{+}$ decay using $220p{\mathrm{b}}^{-1}$ of data collected by the CDF II experiment. We find: m(B^+) = 5279.10 \pm 0.41_{(stat.)} \pm 0.36_{(sys.)} MeVcc, m(B^0) = 5279.63 \pm 0.53_{(stat.)} \pm 0.33_{(sys.)} MeVcc, m(B^0_s) = 5366.01 \pm 0.73_{(stat.)} \pm 0.33_{(sys.)} MeVcc, m(Λ^0_b) = 5619.7 \pm 1.2_{(stat.)} \pm 1.2_{(sys.)} MeVcc. m(B^+) - m(B^0) = -0.53 \pm 0.67_{(stat.)} \pm 0.14_{(sys.)} MeVcc, m(B^0_s) - m(B^0) = 86.38 \pm 0.90_{(stat.)} \pm 0.06_{(sys.)} MeVcc m(Λ^0_b) - m(B^0) = 339.2 \pm 1.4_{(stat.)} \pm 0.1_{(sys.)} MeVcc. The measurements of the $B_s^0$, ${\Lambda }_b^0$ mass, $m(B_s^0)-m(B^0)$ and $m({\Lambda }_b^0)-m(B^0)$ mass difference are of better precision than the current world averages.
