Observation of a New 

b

Baryon

(CMS Collaboration)

(Received 26 April 2012; published 21 June 2012)

The observation of a new b baryon via its strong decay into bþ(plus charge conjugates) is reported.

The measurement uses a data sample of pp collisions at ffiffiffi ps

¼ 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5:3 fb1. The known b baryon is reconstructed via the decay chain b ! J=c ! þ0, with 0! p. A peak is observed in the distribution of the difference between the mass of the bþ system and the sum of the masses of the

b and þ, with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The mass difference of the peak is 14:84  0:74ðstatÞ  0:28ðsystÞ MeV. The new state most likely corresponds to the JP¼ 3=2þ compan- ion of the b.

According to the well-established quark model and cor- responding spectroscopy of baryons, there are several pre- dicted baryons containing one strange and one beauty valence quark. These include the b (ground state) and

0b, both with total angular momentum and parity JP ¼ 1=2þ, a JP¼ 3=2þ state with angular momentum L ¼ 0 (often referred to, as will be done in this Letter, as b), and two states with JP ¼ 1=2 and 3=2, both with angular momentum L ¼ 1. These baryons can be neutral (valence quark content u  s  b) or negatively charged (d  s  b). At the Tevatron, baryons with masses and decay modes consistent with the theoretical predictions for the ground state bbaryons have been observed [1–3], although their quantum numbers have not yet been established. The al- lowed decays of the experimentally missing b states should be analogous to the charmed sector [4–6]. In addi- tion, theoretical calculations [7–11] predict the mass dif- ference between the 0band bto be smaller than the mass of the pion, in which case the strong decay 0b ! b is kinematically forbidden. The mass difference between the

b and b, however, is expected to be large enough to allow such a decay.

This Letter presents a search for the decay 0b !

bþ, with b ! J=c, J=c! þ, !

0, and 0 ! p. Charge conjugate states are im- plied throughout. The reconstruction of such decays in- volves the presence of three secondary vertices, where the

¼ 7 TeV, collected in 2011 by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the

Large Hadron Collider (LHC), corresponding to an inte- grated luminosity of 5:3 fb1.

The CMS apparatus is described in detail in Ref. [12]. Its central feature is a superconducting solenoid, of 6 m inter- nal diameter, providing a field of 3.8 T. The main subde- tectors used in this analysis are the silicon tracker and the muon systems. The silicon tracker, composed of pixel and strip detector modules, is immersed in the magnetic field, and enables the measurement of charged particle momenta over the pseudorapidity range jj < 2:5, where  ¼

 lnðtan=2Þ and  is the polar angle of the track relative to the counterclockwise beam direction. Muons are iden- tified in the rangejj < 2:4 using gas-ionization detectors embedded in the steel return yoke of the magnet.

The events used in this analysis were collected using the two-level trigger system of CMS. The first level consists of custom hardware processors and uses information from the muon systems to select events with two muons. The ‘‘high- level trigger’’ processor farm further decreases the event rate before data storage, requiring two opposite-sign muons compatible with being the decay products of a J=c, either promptly produced or displaced from the primary vertex (PV). The nonprompt J=c trigger requires two opposite-sign muons with an invariant mass within 200 MeV of the J=c mass [13], single muon transverse momentum pT> 3, 3.5, 4, or 5 GeV, and dimuon vertex fit

2 probability larger than 10% or 15%. The requirements were made tighter depending on the LHC instantaneous luminosity so as to limit the trigger rate. In addition, the dimuon vertex must be separated from the beam line by more than 3 times the uncertainty on the separation vertex, which includes the transverse vertex resolution (indepen- dently estimated for each event) and the beam line position uncertainty. Finally, the requirement cos > 0:9 is also applied, where  is the angle, in the plane transverse to the beam, between the dimuon momentum and the direc- tion from the beam line to the dimuon vertex. The prompt J=c trigger requires two opposite-sign muons with an

invariant mass within 250 MeV of the J=c mass [13], dimuon pT> 10 or 13 GeV (depending on the instanta- neous luminosity), dimuon rapidityjyj < 1:25, and dimuon vertex fit 2 probability greater than 0.5%.

The reconstruction of the b ! J=c candidates begins by identifying J=c ! þ decays. The candi- date J=c mesons are built by combining pairs of oppo- sitely charged muons (tracks in the silicon tracker matched to tracks in the muon detectors) satisfying the trigger conditions and having an invariant mass within 150 MeV of the J=c mass. Candidate 0 baryons are reconstructed in decays to a pion () and a proton (p) with opposite charges, where the higher momentum track is assumed to be the proton. Both tracks are required to have a track fit

2=ndf < 5, where ndf is the number of degrees of free- dom, and at least six hits in the silicon tracker. The 0 candidate vertex must have a fit 2=ndf < 7 and be dis- placed from the beam line by more than 10vertex. Possible contamination from misreconstructed KS mesons is re- moved by requiring that the candidate mass, when assum- ing that both tracks are pions, differs from the KSmass [13]

by more than 20 MeV. Candidate  baryons are recon- structed by combining a 0candidate with a track () of the same charge as the . A kinematic vertex fit [14] is performed, assuming that the track is a pion, and with the

0 candidate mass constrained to its world-average value [13]. A veto window of 20 MeV around the mass [13] is applied when assuming that the  candidate is a kaon.

The  is then combined with the J=c to form a b candidate, with a kinematic vertex fit constraining their masses to the world-average values [13]. On average, the events used in this analysis have around eight recon- structed primary vertices (PV). The PV closest in three dimensions to the b trajectory is taken as the one where the b was produced.

The b signal selection criteria are chosen by an iter- ative algorithm that maximizes both the signal yield and the significance, calculated as S= ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi

S þ B

p , where the signal (S) and background (B) yields are evaluated in a window of

40 MeV around the b mass, 5790:5  2:7 MeV [13].

The value of B is linearly interpolated to this signal region from the two mass sidebands, located between 40 and 100 MeV away from the peak value. Thirty variables are used to optimize the b signal selection. At every itera- tion, two variables are chosen randomly, where one of them is tightened and the other loosened. If S and the signifi- cance increase, the new set of values is accepted. To avoid ending up in a local maximum, an iteration is accepted if the significance decreases by less than a random number uniformly generated between 0 and 10%. The variables used for the selection include the pTof both muons, and of the J=c, p, , , , and b. The muons and b can have different pTselections in the pseudorapidity regions jj < 1:2 and jj > 1:2, where jj ¼ 1:2 is the transition between the barrel and endcap detectors. The algorithm

also tunes the requirements on the differences between the reconstructed masses and the world-average masses for the

0, , and J=c, with the latter case being different for jðJ=cÞj < 1:2 and jðJ=cÞj > 1:2. Also, the total J=c pseudorapidity coverage can be adjusted to be smaller than the fulljðJ=cÞj < 2:4 range.

To select a b sample with a good signal-over- background ratio, it is important to reject promptly pro- duced tracks. This is done via a selection on their trans- verse impact parameter significances Dip=Dip, where the impact parameter Dipis calculated with respect to the beam line and Dipis its uncertainty. This procedure is applied to the p, , and  tracks, as well as to the 0 and  trajectories. Long-lived particles (0, , and b) are selected by requirements on their transverse decay lengths and on the significance Lxy=Lxyof the transverse distance between their production and decay vertices Lxy, where

Lxy is the uncertainty of Lxy. Minimal fit confidence levels are required on the 0, , and b decay vertices, while the three-dimensional distance significance must be smaller than the optimized thresholds for the distances between the  trajectory and the J=c decay vertex, as well as between the b trajectory and the chosen PV.

The J=c invariant-mass distribution for the b candidates passing the selection criteria is shown in Fig. 1, together with the result of a fit with a Gaussian function representing the signal plus a second-order poly- nomial representing the background, which gives a signal yield of 108  14 events. The same figure also displays the invariant-mass distribution for background events, in which the  and proton have the same charge, giving

further evidence that the observed peak corresponds to a real b signal. The b mass extracted from the fit is 5795:0  3:1ðstatÞ MeV, in good agreement with the world-average value [13]. The corresponding mass resolu- tion is 23:7  3:2ðstatÞ MeV, in agreement with the value 22:5  4:7 MeV, obtained from a detailed Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of the CMS detector response, using

PYTHIA 6.409[15],EVTGEN[16], andGEANT4[17].

To search for 0b baryons, the b candidates with a mass within 2.5 standard deviations of the fitted peak value are combined with tracks, assumed to be pions, with a charge opposite to the  charge (opposite-sign pairs) and coming from the selected PV, with a significance less than 3 standard deviations on the distance between the track trajectory and the PV. Other quality requirements applied to the tracks are pT> 0:25 GeV, at least two hits in the silicon pixel layers, at least five hits in the entire tracker, and a track fit 2=ndf < 2:5.

The 0b search uses the mass difference Q between the measured J=cþ invariant mass and the sum of the masses of the decay products, Q ¼ MðJ=cþÞ  MðJ=cÞ  MðÞ, where MðÞ is the charged-pion mass [13]. The search for new resonances in the Q distri- bution requires a reliable background shape. A background model is built using candidates where the prompt pion and the b have the same charge (same-sign pairs), given that the background is expected to be dominated by combina- torial sources, as checked by MC studies. The measured momentum distributions of b candidates and same-sign pions (pðbÞ, pðÞ), together with the distribution of the angle between them (), are used to randomly generate uncorrelated values for pðbÞ, pðÞ, and . Given the limited statistical precision of the b momentum distri- bution, the corresponding random numbers are generated from a parametrized version using the fit function fbðpÞ ¼ pk1ek2p, where ki are free parameters. The three random values are then combined to calculate a Q value for predicting the combinatorial background distri- bution. One hundred million Q values are generated in this way and the resulting distribution is fitted to the function Qc1ðec2Qþ ec3Qþ ec4QÞ, where ci are free parame- ters. Figure 2(a) compares the Q distribution of the same-sign 0b candidates with the predicted background shape. Alternative functional forms of fbðpÞ are used to estimate the systematic uncertainty associated with this method, which contributes to the determination of the background parameters.

The measured opposite-sign Q distribution is displayed in Fig. 2(b) for the range 0–50 MeV. The 21 events ob- served in the region 12 < Q < 18 MeV represent a clear excess with respect to the expected background yield of 3:0  1:4 events, evaluated by integrating the background function in this Q window. An unbinned maximum- likelihood fit is performed to the opposite-sign Q distribu- tion with a Breit-Wigner distribution convolved with a

Gaussian function, added to the background function pre- viously described. The Gaussian resolution of the peak is constrained to 1:91  0:11 MeV, as determined in the signal MC simulation, and the background parameters are allowed to float within their total uncertainties (statis- tical plus systematic, added in quadrature). Figure2(b)also shows the result of the fit. A peak is clearly visible above the background continuum. The fitted parameters of the peak are Q ¼ 14:84  0:74ðstatÞ MeV and Breit-Wigner width  ¼ 2:1  1:7ðstatÞ MeV. The fitted Breit-Wigner width agrees with  ¼ 0:51  0:16 MeV, the value ob- tained following Eq. (102) of Ref. [18], based on lattice quantum chromodynamic calculations.

To evaluate the significance of the signal, the likelihood Lsþbof the signal-plus-background fit is determined. The

fit is then repeated using the background-only model to obtain a new likelihood Lb.

p would indicate a statistical significance of 6.9 standard deviations (), corresponding to a probability of 2:5  1012for a background fluctuation of this signifi- cance or more to be observed. The significance remains the same if the fit is repeated using the theoretically expected width, allowing it to vary within the range of the theoretical uncertainty. The signal significance is also evaluated by generating pseudoexperiments in which the background distribution is varied within its statistical uncertainty, and determining the background fluctuation probability (‘‘p value’’) as the number of experiments that give a fit with the same significance or higher than in the data. The ‘‘look- elsewhere effect’’ [19] is assessed by searching for a peak, of width  between 0 and 25 MeV, in the extended mass range 0 < Q < 50 MeV, where the 0b is theoretically expected. The resulting background fluctuation probability is p ¼ 1:3  108, which corresponds to a 5:7 equivalent Gaussian significance. If the search range is further ex- tended to 0 < Q < 400 MeV, the equivalent Gaussian sig- nificance becomes 5:3.

This analysis has been repeated using simulated Bþ, B0, Bs, and bsamples, obtained by the detailed MC simula- tion of the CMS detector already mentioned. The samples contain events in which the b hadron is forced to decay to a J=c, which decays to þ. No evidence of peaks due to partially reconstructed b-hadron decays is observed in these samples. The opposite-sign Q distribution obtained using b candidates from the lower- and higher-mass sidebands of the signal peak also shows no excess, indicat- ing that the observed peak is not caused by fake b candidates.

The systematic uncertainty on the measured Q value is evaluated through the signal MC simulation. The recon- structed Q value in MC simulations is measured to be 0:23  0:10 MeV above the generated value. This is con- sistent with the observation that the measured 0 and  masses are 0:16  0:05 and 0:18  0:14 MeV, respec- tively, above their world averages. The sum in quadrature of the shift and its statistical uncertainty, 0.25 MeV, is considered as the systematic uncertainty due to this effect.

As an extreme fitting scenario, a flat function is used for the background shape, leading to a Q value 0.12 MeV higher than the value measured with the nominal background model. Adding in quadrature this uncertainty with the previous one results in a total Q systematic uncertainty of 0.28 MeV.

The observation of this resonance, corresponding to the one observed in the charm sector [4], and its mass mea- surement add valuable information to the understanding of the interactions between quarks within a baryon.

In summary, a new bbaryon has been observed in pp collisions at ffiffiffi

ps

¼ 7 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5:3 fb1. The signal is observed with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The measured Q ¼ MðJ=cþÞ  MðJ=cÞ  MðÞ value is 14:84  0:74ðstatÞ  0:28ðsystÞ MeV. Given the charged-pion and

b masses [13], the resulting b-baryon mass is 5945:0  0:7ðstatÞ  0:3ðsystÞ  2:7ðPDGÞ MeV, where the last un- certainty reflects the present accuracy of the b mass from the Particle Data Group [13]. While the width of the new baryon is not measured with good statistical precision, it is compatible with theoretical expectations [18]. Given its measured mass and decay mode, the new baryon is likely to be the 0b , with JP¼ 3=2þ.
