Abstract

A search is performed in the invariant mass spectrum of the Bc+ π+ π− system for the excited Bc+ states Bc(2 1S0)+ and Bc(2 3S1)+ using a data sample of pp collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at the centre-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb^−1. No evidence is seen for either state. Upper limits on the ratios of the production cross-sections of the Bc(2 1S0)+ and Bc(2 3S1)+ states times the branching fractions of Bc(2 1S0)+ → Bc+ π+ π− and Bc(23S1)+ → Bc*+ π+ π− over the production cross-section of the Bc+ state are given as a function of their masses. They are found to be between 0.02 and 0.14 at 95% confidence level for Bc(2 1S0)+ and Bc(23S1)+ in the mass ranges [6830, 6890] MeV/c2 and [6795, 6890] MeV/c2, respectively.
