Abstract

In this work we study the production of K(4307)K^*(4307) in BB decays by determining the J/ψπ+(0)K0J/\psi\pi^{+(0)}K^{0} and J/ψπK+J/\psi \pi^- K^+ invariant mass distributions of the processes B+J/ψπ+π0K0B^+\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^0 K^0 and B+J/ψπ+πK+B^+\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^- K^+, respectively. Such K(4307)K^*(4307) has been recently predicted as a three-body state originated from the dynamics involved in the KDDˉK D\bar D^* system, with the KDKD subsystem forming the Ds0(2317)D^{*}_{s0}(2317) in isospin 0, and the DDˉD\bar D^* subsystem generating the X(3872)X(3872) in isospin 0 and the Zc(3900)Z_c(3900) in isospin 1. The hidden charm content of K(4307)K^*(4307) favors its decay to a state like J/ψπKJ/\psi\pi K and the study of BB-decays with these particles in their final states can constitute a way of finding experimental evidences for such an exotic vector meson, whose width, in spite of its large mass, is still quite narrow (around 18 MeV).
