We report the first observation of two resonance-like structures in the pi+ chi_c1 invariant mass distribution near 4.1 GeV/c^2 in exclusive B0-bar --> K- pi+ chi_c1 decays. From a Dalitz plot analysis in which the pi+ chi_c1 mass…
A distinct peak is observed in the pi^+/- psi' invariant mass distribution near 4.43 GeV in B->K pi^+/- psi' decays. A fit using a Breit Wigner resonance shape yields a peak mass and width of 4433+-4(stat)+-2(syst) MeV and Gamma =…

We study the Belle reaction $\Xi_c^+ \to \Xi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ looking at the mass distribution of $\pi^+ \Xi$, where clear signals for the $\Xi(1620)$ and $\Xi(1690)$ resonances are seen. These two resonances are generated dynamically from…
