The B-s(0) mesons are reconstructed in the decay chain B-s(0) -> J/Psi phi, with J/Psi -> mu(+) mu(-) and phi -> K+K-. The B-s(0)pi(+/-) invariant mass distribution shows no statistically significant peaks for different selection requirements on the reconstructed B-s(0) and pi(+/-) candidates. Upper limits are set on the relative production rates of the X(5568) and B-s(0) states times the branching fraction of the decay X(5568)(+/-) -> B-s(0)pi(+/-). In addition, upper limits are obtained as a function of the mass and the natural width of possible exotic states decaying into B-s(0)pi(+/-).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessQED RADIATIVE-CORRECTIONSUNIVERSAL MONTE-CARLOPHOTOSArticle2-s2.0-8504781721510.1103/PhysRevLett.120.20200529864318Q1WOS:000433032500006
