Abstract

A search for resonancelike structures in the B_s^0π^± invariant mass spectrum is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at sqrt[s]=8  TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7  fb^-1. The B_s^0 mesons are reconstructed in the decay chain B_s^0→J/ψϕ, with J/ψ→μ^+μ^- and ϕ→K^+K^-. The B_s^0π^± invariant mass distribution shows no statistically significant peaks for different selection requirements on the reconstructed B_s^0 and π^± candidates. Upper limits are set on the relative production rates of the X(5568) and B_s^0 states times the branching fraction of the decay X(5568)^±→B_s^0π^±. In addition, upper limits are obtained as a function of the mass and the natural width of possible exotic states decaying into B_s^0π^±.
