Lett. B", "categories": [ "hep-ex" ], "abstract": "The decay B+ to psi(2S) phi(1020) K+ is observed for the first time using data collected from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse femtobarns. The branching fraction of this decay is measured, using the mode B+ to psi(2S) K+ as normalization, to be (4.0+/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.6 (syst) +/- 0.2 (B)1E-6, where the third uncertainty is from the imprecision in the normalization channel.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-09T17:57:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pp collisions", "observation", "cms experiment", "first time", "inverse femtobarns" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
