We present a measurement of the decay amplitudes in B→J/ψK*(892) channels using 20.7 fb-1 of data collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at PEP-II. We measure a P-wave fraction R⊥ = (16.0±3.2±1.4)% and a longitudinal polarization fraction (59.7±2.8±2.4)%. The measurement of a relative phase that is neither 0 nor π, φ∥ = 2.50±0.20±0.08 radians, favors a departure from the factorization hypothesis. Although the decay B→J/ψKπ proceeds mainly via K*(892), there is also evidence for K2*(1430) and Kπ S-wave contributions.

Abstract

We present a measurement of the decay amplitudes in B→J/ψK*(892) channels using 20.7 fb-1 of data collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at PEP-II. We measure a P-wave fraction R⊥ = (16.0±3.2±1.4)% and a longitudinal polarization fraction (59.7±2.8±2.4)%. The measurement of a relative phase that is neither 0 nor π, φ∥ = 2.50±0.20±0.08 radians, favors a departure from the factorization hypothesis. Although the decay B→J/ψKπ proceeds mainly via K*(892), there is also evidence for K2*(1430) and Kπ S-wave contributions.
