Observation of the decay Bc±→J/ψπ± and measurement of the Bc± mass

2008 
The Bc± meson is observed through the decay Bc±→J/ ψπ±, in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.4fb-1 recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. A signal of 108±15 candidates is observed, with a significance that exceeds 8σ. The mass of the Bc± meson is measured to be 6275.6±2.9(stat)±2.5(syst)MeV/c2. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
