Abstract

We perform a full amplitude analysis of B0 -> psi' K+ pi- decays, with psi' -> mu+ mu- or e+ e-, to constrain the spin and parity of the Z(4430)-. The J^P=1+ hypothesis is favored over the 0-, 1-, 2- and 2+ hypotheses at the levels of 3.4 sigma, 3.7 sigma, 4.7 sigma and 5.1 sigma, respectively. The analysis is based on a 711 fb^-1 data sample that contains 772x10^6 B B pairs, collected at the Y(4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider KEKB.

    • Since 2008 researchers at Belle in Japan found hints of a four-quark particle. Those hints were confirmed. "This reinforces the 5.1σ (4.7σ) rejection of the 2+ (2− ) hypotheses previously reported by the Belle collaboration, and confirms the 3.4σ (3.7σ) indications from Belle…
