SLIDE 21 B+ c (2S) and B∗+ c (2S) observation (backup)
Selection criteria and fit shapes
Selection of B+
c candidates
Trigger: two muons from J/ψ plus a track, with common vertex displaced from interaction point Muons with pT > 4 GeV, track with pT > 3.5 GeV Common vertex: χ2 probability > 10%, displacement from primary vertex > 100 µm B+
c transverse momentum > 15 GeV
Maximum likelihood fit to B+
c invariant mass
Signal peak (double Gaussian shape) Combinatorial background (polynomial), partially reconstructed (ARGUS x Gaussian), peaking background (simulation-based shape) About 7500 B+
c candidates
Selection of B+
c (2S) candidates
B+
c candidates in range 6.2 - 6.355 GeV
Two tracks from primary vertex, with pT π2 > 0.8 GeV and pT π3 > 0.6 GeV B+
c ππ common vertex: χ2 probability > 10%
With multiple candidates in an event:
- nly the one with largest pT retained
