The analysis studies P-wave B-s(0) meson decays into B(*)(+)K(-)and B(*)K-0(S)0, where the B+ and B-0 mesons are identified using the decays B+ -> J/psi K+ and B-0 -> J/psi K* (892)(0). The masses of the P-wave B-s(0) meson states are measured and the natural width of the B-s2*(5840)(0) state is determined. The first measurement of the mass difference between the charged and neutral B* mesons is also presented. The B-s2*(5840)(0) decay to (BKS0)-K-0 is observed, together with a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the B-s2*(5840)(0) -> B+K- decay.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCMSPhysicsb hadronsHeavy flavour spectroscopyHadron spectroscopyExperimental resultsArticle2-s2.0-8505658062110.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6390-z30881211Q1WOS:000450608400004
