Abstract

A study of B+ → J/ψ η K+ decays, followed by J/ψ → μ+ μ− and η → γ γ, is performed using a dataset collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^−1. The J/ψ η mass spectrum is investigated for contributions from charmonia and charmonium-like states. Evidence is found for the B+ → (ψ2(3823) → J/ψ η) K+ and B+ → (ψ(4040) → J/ψ η) K+ decays with significance of 3.4 and 4.7 standard deviations, respectively. This constitutes the first evidence for the ψ2(3823) → J/ψ η decay.
