Abstract

The first full amplitude analysis of B+ -> J/psi phi K+ with J/psi -> mu(+)mu(-) phi -> K+K- decays is performed with a data sample of 3 fb(-1) of pp collision data collected at root s = 7, 8 TeV with the LHCb detector. The data cannot be described by a model that contains only excited kaon states decaying into phi K+ , four J/psi phi structures are observed each with significance over 5 standard deviations. The quantum numbers of these structures are determined with significance of at least 4 standard deviations. The lightest has mass consistent with but width much larger than previous measurements of the claimed X(4140) state.
