Abstract

The decay B^-0_s→ ψ(2S)K⁺π^-is observed using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb^-1collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The branching fraction relative to the B⁰→ ψ(2S)K⁺π^-decay mode is measured to be

B(B^-0_s→ψ(2S)K⁺π⁻) / B(B⁰→ψ(2S)K⁺π⁻) =5.38±0.36(stat)±0.22(syst)±0.31(f_s/f_d)%, where f_s/f_d indicates the uncertainty due to the ratio of probabilities for a b quark to hadronise into a B⁰_sor B⁰meson. Using an amplitude analysis, the fraction of decays proceeding via an intermediate K^*(892)⁰meson is measured to be 0.645±0.049(stat)±0.049(syst) and its longitudinal polarisation fraction is 0.524±0.056(stat)±0.029(syst). The relative branching fraction for this component is determined to be B(B^-0_s→ψ(2S)K^∗(892)⁰) / B(B⁰→ψ(2S)K^∗(892)⁰)=5.58±0.57(stat)±0.40(syst)±0.32(f_s/f_d)%. In addition, the mass splitting between the B⁰_sand B⁰mesons is measured as M(B⁰_s)-M(B⁰) = 87.45±0.44(stat)±0.09(syst)MeV/c².
