Strange beauty mesons B(s)0 have been reconstructed through exclusive hadronic final states, using the data collected in 1992 by the DELPHI experiment at the LEP collider. The analysis relies on the combined use of accurate tracking and of the hadron identification capabilities of DELPHI. Three B(s)0 decay candidates have been selected over a negligible background using the D(s)- pi+, D(s)- a1+ (1260) and J/ psi phi decay modes, with identified kaons in the final state. The B(s)0 meson mass is measured to be m(b)s = (5374 +/- 16 +/- 2) MeV/c2.

Abstract
Strange beauty mesons B(s)0 have been reconstructed through exclusive hadronic final states, using the data collected in 1992 by the DELPHI experiment at the LEP collider. The analysis relies on the combined use of accurate tracking and of the hadron identification capabilities of DELPHI. Three B(s)0 decay candidates have been selected over a negligible background using the D(s)- pi+, D(s)- a1+ (1260) and J/ psi phi decay modes, with identified kaons in the final state. The B(s)0 meson mass is measured to be m(b)s = (5374 +/- 16 +/- 2) MeV/c2.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
