The decay B-c(+) -> J/psi K+ K- pi(+)pi(+)pi(-) is observed for the first time, and evidence for the B-c(+) -> J/psi 4 pi(+)3 pi(-) decay is found. The decay B-c(+) -> J/psi 3 pi(+)2 pi(-) is observed and the previous observation of the B-c(+) -> psi(2S)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-) decay is confirmed using the psi(2S) -> J/psi pi(+)pi(-) decay mode. Ratios of the branching fractions of these four B-c(+) decay channels are measured.", optnote="WOS:001071171200001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5817), last updated on Wed, 10 Apr 2024 12:43:08 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2023)198", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.08660", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2023)198", language="English" }
