Abstract

The resonant substructure of B0s→D¯0K−π+ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0  fb−1 of pp collision data recorded by the LHCb detector. An excess at m(D¯0K−)≈2.86  GeV/c2 is found to be an admixture of spin-1 and spin-3 resonances. Therefore, the D∗sJ(2860)− state previously observed in inclusive e+e−→D¯0K−X and pp→D¯0K−X processes consists of at least two particles. This is the first observation of a heavy flavored spin-3 resonance, and the first time that any spin-3 particle has been seen to be produced in B decays. The masses and widths of the new states and of the D∗s2(2573)− meson are measured, giving the most precise determinations to date.
