TY - JOUR AU - LHCb Collaboration (Aaij, R. et al AU - Oyanguren, A. AU - Ruiz Valls, P. PY - 2013 DA - 2013// TI - Observation of B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s(+) and B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s*(+) decays T2 - Phys. Rev. D JO - Physical Review D SP - 112012 - 10pp VL - 87 IS - 11 PB - Amer Physical Soc AB - The decays B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s(+) and B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s*(+) are observed for the first time using a dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb(-1), collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of root s = 7 and 8 TeV. The statistical significance for both signals is in excess of 9 standard deviations. The following ratios of branching fractions are measured to be 'B(B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s(+))/B(B-c(+) -> J/ psi pi(+)) = 2.90 +/- 0.57 +/- 0.24, B(B-c(+) -> J/psi D-s*(+))/B(B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s(+)) = 2.37 +/- 0.56 +/- 0.10, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The mass of the B-c(+) meson is measured to be m(Bc+) = 6276.28 +/- 1.44(stat) +/- 0.36(syst) MeV/c(2), using the B-c(+) -> J/ psi D-s(+) decay mode.
