2 Introduction A B-factory is functional as a Charmonium(-like) factory via B meson decay. Both vertices are Cabbibo-favored. (i.e. with “hidden charm”) Interesting place to carry out spectroscopy studies!

3 Outline Comparison between B ± →X(3872)K ± and B 0 →X(3872)K S –Is there suppression of B 0 →X(3872)K 0 ? –Is there mass splitting between B 0 and B ± decays into X(3872) K? Both important to select the model to describe X(3872). Observation of new resonance Z(4430) ± → ’ ± in B→ ’ ± K decays –First observation of charged “hidden charm” object.

4 Reconstruction of B decays Using Υ (4S)→ BB kinematics M bc = { (E CM /2) 2 - ( P i ) 2 } 1/2 (m ES has the same meaning) Signal peaks at B mass (5.28GeV) E = E i - E CM /2 Signal peaks at 0. Example; B 0 → J/ K S E(GeV) M bc (GeV)

5 B ± →X(3872)K ± and B 0 →X(3872)K S Basic flow of the analysis; B→ ’ K and B→X(3872) K ( ’ or X(3872)→ J/ + - ) are always reconstructed at same time. (J/ →e + e - or + - ) (to utilize ’ as a control sample as much as possible) Require M > ( M J/ - (M J/ + 0.2GeV/c 2 ) ) to reduce combinatorial background. R 2 <0.4 and |cos B |<0.8 for continuum(non-BB) suppression. See M(=M J/ -M ll ) distribution for B candidate(| E| 5.27GeV/c 2 ).

6 B ± →X(3872)K ± and B 0 →X(3872)K S MM B ± → ’K ± MM MM B ± →XK ± B 0 →XK S M distributions for ’ and X are fitted simultaneously; detector resolution effect is automatically calibrated by ’. Ns=125±14 (12 ) Ns=30±7 (6.5 ) First observation of B 0 →X(3872)K S !

7 B ± →X(3872)K ± and B 0 →X(3872)K S M X =M(X from B ± )-M(X from B 0 ) =(0.22±0.90±0.27)MeV/c 2 – No mass splitting signature. R = =0.94±0.24±0.10 – Charged and neutral B mesons decay into X(3872) with comparable branching fraction. Br(B 0 →X(3872)K 0 ) Br(B ± →X(3872)K ± )

9 Observation of B→Z(4430) ± K ’ ± K(K is either K ∓ or K S ) is combined to form B candidate. ’ is reconstructed by e + e -, + - or J/ + - modes. B→ ’ ± K candidates exhibit relatively clean signature. Let’s see Dalitz distribution to distinguish B→ ’K* decays from other contributions. Belle preliminary

10 Dalitz distribution K * (892) K* 2 (1430) M 2 (K ) M2(’)M2(’) Here, clustering of events. What is this? Belle preliminary
11
11 After K* veto Require |M K - M K*(892) |>0.1 GeV and |M K - M K*2(1430) |>0.1 GeV. Still clear B decay signature is there → What is this? Belle preliminary
12
12 M ’ projection Clear signature of a resonance at 4430MeV/c 2 (Here, call it Z(4430))! Background estimated from the E sideband. Fit : Breit-Wigner (peak) + empirical phase space function. N peak =124±30events(7.3 ) M=4433±4±1 MeV/c 2 =44 +17/-13 +30/-11 MeV. This is the candidate for a CHARGED charmonium-like state! If it is a meson state, must be exotic. Support tetraquark or mesonic molecule picture. More data needed to determine J PC. hep-ex/0708.1790 Belle preliminary
13
13 More information The peak at 4430MeV/c 2 is apparent in all the sub-decay modes. Belle preliminary
14
14 More information(2) The peak is quite unlikely to be formed by feed across from other B decay modes into ’ K . Selecting | M ’ - 4430MeV/c 2 |<30MeV/c 2, look M K without K * veto. →No peak structure other than already vetoed K * states. K * veto regions Belle preliminary

15 Summary B ± →X(3872)K ± and B 0 →X(3872)K S – Branching fractions are comparable, No mass splitting signature, for charged and neutral B decays into X(3872). – Disfavored the models predicting significantly different properties between charged and neutral B into X(3872). Observed Z(4430)→ ’ ± in B→ ’ ± K decays – First charged object of “hidden charm” exotics. – Support existence of tetraqualrk or mesonic molecule. – To determine J PC, more data needed.
