24th June 2005U.Kerzel, University of Karlsruhe Beauty200511 The m( + - ) mass spectrum Distribution of m( + - ) constrains quantum numbers J PC shape depends on: decay of ( + - ) sub-system: ( + - ) in s,p,d wave (i.e. intermediate sub-resonances or not) relative angular momentum between ( + - ) and ( + - ) (and detector acceptance, efficiency, etc.) e.g. for decay chain: X ! J/ , ! + - for broad resonances (kinematic factors vary across width) form-factor

24th June 2005U.Kerzel, University of Karlsruhe Beauty200512 The m( + - ) mass spectrum Challenge: Large background, rather low X(3872) yield ) sideband-subtraction difficult, instead: “slicing technique” impose bin borders in m( + - ) as additional cuts fit resulting ( - + - ) mass spectrum obtained yield shows variation with m( + - ) need to be careful at kinematic borders
