Abstract

The B¯s0→χc2K+K− decay mode is observed and its branching fraction relative to the corresponding χc1 decay mode, in a ±15 MeV/c2 window around the ϕ mass, is found to be ℬ(B¯s0→χc2K+K−)/ℬ(B¯s0→χc1K+K−) = (17.1 ± 3.1 ± 0.4 ± 0.9)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the knowledge of the branching fractions of radiative χc decays. The decay mode B¯s0→χc1K+K− allows the Bs0 mass to be measured as m(Bs0) = 5366.83 ± 0.25 ± 0.27 MeV/c2, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. A combination of this result with other LHCb determinations of the Bs0 mass is made.
