The decays B-C (+)-> (psi(2S) -> J/psi pi(+)pi(-))pi(+), B+C -> (psi(2S)pi(+)pi(-)pi(+), B+C -> J/psi K+pi(-)pi(+) and B+C -> J/K+K-K+ are observed for the first time, and evidence for the B-C (+)-> (psi(2S)K+K-pi(+), decay is found, where J/psi and psi(2S) mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay modes. The ratios of branching fractions between the different B-C(+) decays are reported as well as the fractions of the decays proceeding via intermediate resonances. The results largely support the factorisation approach used for a theoretical description of the studied decays.", optnote="WOS:000742649500003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5082), last updated on Thu, 27 Jan 2022 18:46:56 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP01(2022)065", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.03001", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2022)065", language="English" }
