Abstract

We present results on the X(3872), produced in B+X(3872)K+B^+ \to X(3872) K^+ and B0X(3872)KS0B^0 \to X(3872) K^0_S decays where X(3872)J/ψπ+πX(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-. We report the first statistically significant observation of B0X(3872)KS0B^0 \to X(3872) K^0_S and measure the ratio of branching fractions to be B(B0X(3872)K0)B(B+X(3872)K+)=0.82±0.22±0.05\frac{{\cal B}(B^0 \to X(3872)K^0)} {{\cal B}(B^+ \to X(3872)K^+)} = 0.82 \pm 0.22 \pm 0.05, consistent with unity. The mass difference between the X(3872) states produced in B+B^+ and B0B^0 decay is found to be δMMXK+MXK0=(+0.18±0.89±0.26)\delta M \equiv M_{XK^+} - M_{XK^0} = (+0.18 \pm 0.89 \pm 0.26) MeV/c2c^2, consistent with zero. In addition, we search for the X(3872) in the decay B0X(3872)K+πB^0 \to X(3872)K^+\pi^-, X(3872)J/ψπ+πX(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-. We measure B(B0X(3872)(K+π)NR)×B(X(3872)J/ψπ+π)=(8.1±2.01.4+1.1)×106{\cal B}(B^0 \to X(3872) (K^+ \pi^-)_{NR}) \times {\cal B}(X(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-) = (8.1 \pm 2.0 ^{+1.1}_{-1.4})\times 10^{-6} and we set the 90% C.L. limit, B(B0X(3872)K(892)0)×B(X(3872)J/ψπ+π)<3.4×106{\cal B}(B^0 \to X(3872)K^{*}(892)^0) \times {\cal B}(X(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-) < 3.4 \times 10^{-6}. The analysis is based on a 605 fb1^{-1} data sample collected at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider.
