Abstract

This paper reports the observation of the decays B0(s) → Ds1(2536)∓K± using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to the normalisation channel B0 → D 0K+K−. The Ds1(2536)− meson is reconstructed in the D∗(2007)0K− decay channel and the products of branching fractions are measuredto be B(B 0 s → Ds1(2536)∓K±) × B(Ds1(2536)−→ D∗(2007)0K−)= (2.49 ± 0.11 ± 0.12 ± 0.25 ± 0.06) ×10−5,B(B0→ Ds1(2536)∓K±) × B(Ds1(2536)−→ D∗(2007)0K−)= (0.510 ± 0.021 ± 0.036 ± 0.050) × 10−5. The frst uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third arises from the uncertainty of the branching fraction of the B0 → D 0K+K− normalisation channel.The last uncertainty in the B0s result is due to the limited knowledge of the fragmentation fraction ratio, fs/fd. The signifcance for the B0s and B0 signals is larger than 10 σ. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes which governs the angular distribution of the Ds1(2536)− → D∗(2007)0K− decay is determined from the data. The ratio of the S- andD-wave amplitudes is found to be 1.11±0.15±0.06 and the phase diference between them 0.70 ± 0.09 ± 0.04 rad, where the frst uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic
