Observation of Two Resonances in the Λ_{b}^{0}π^{±} Systems and Precise Measurement of Σ_{b}^{±} and Σ_{b}^{*±} Properties

Phys Rev Lett. 2019 Jan 11;122(1):012001. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.012001.

Abstract

The first observation of two structures consistent with resonances in the final states Λ_{b}^{0}π^{-} and Λ_{b}^{0}π^{+} is reported using samples of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt[s]=7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^{-1}. The ground states Σ_{b}^{±} and Σ_{b}^{*±} are also confirmed and their masses and widths are precisely measured.
