Charged charmonium-like Z+(4430) from rescattering in conventional B decays
Abstract
In a previous paper we suggested an explanation for the peak designated as in the mass spectrum, observed by Belle in decays, as an effect of rescattering in the decays , where the is an as-yet unobserved radial excitation of the pseudoscalar ground state -meson. In this paper, we demonstrate that this hypothesis provides an explanation of the double -like peaking structures, which were studied by LHCb with much higher statistics. While according to our hypothesis, the origin of the peaking structures is purely kinematical, reflecting the presence of a conventional resonance in the hidden intermediate state, the amplitude of the peak carries a Breit-Wigner-like complex phase, arising from the intermediate resonance. Thus, our hypothesis is entirely consistent with the recent LHCb measurement of the resonant-like amplitude behaviour of the . We perform a toy fit to the LHCb data, which illustrates that our approach is also consistent with all the observed structure in the LHCb spectrum. We suggest a critical test of our hypothesis that can be performed experimentally.
