Measurement of the Spectroscopy of Orbitally Excited B Mesons at LEP

We measure the masses, decay widths and relative production rate of orbitally excited B mesons using $1.25$ million hadronic Z decays recorded by the L3 detector. B-meson candidates are inclusively reconstructed and combined with charged pions produced at the primary event vertex. An excess of event...

Sumario:We measure the masses, decay widths and relative production rate of orbitally excited B mesons using $1.25$ million hadronic Z decays recorded by the L3 detector. B-meson candidates are inclusively reconstructed and combined with charged pions produced at the primary event vertex. An excess of events above the expected background in the $\Bmeson\pi$ mass spectrum in the region $5.6-5.8~\GeV$ is interpreted as resulting from the decay $\BdstarUD\rightarrow\BorBs tar\pi$, where $\BdstarUD$ denotes a mixture of $l=1$ B-meson states containing a $\uquark$ or a $\dquark$ quark. A fit to the mass spectrum yields the masses and decay widths of the $\Bonestar$ and $\Btwostar$ spin states, as well as the branching fraction for the combination of $l=1$ states. In addition, evidence is presented for the existence of an excited B-meson state or mixture of states in the region $5.9-6.0~\GeV$.
