dc.description.abstractUsing data samples of 102 million ϒ(1S) events and 158 million ϒ(2S) events collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e⁺e⁻ collider, we search for [udsc¯c] pentaquark states decaying to J/ψΛ. Using the first observations of ϒ(1S; 2S) inclusive decays to J/ψΛ, we find evidence of the Pc¯cs(4459)⁰ state with a local significance of 3.3 standard deviations, including statistical and systematic uncertainties. We measure the mass and width of the Pc¯cs(4459)⁰ to be (4471.7 ± 4.8 ± 0.6) MeV/c² and (22 ± 13 ± 3) MeV, respectively. The branching fractions for Pc¯cs(4459)⁰ production are measured to be B[ϒ(1S)→Pcc¯s(4459)⁰/P¯cc¯s(4459)⁰ + anything] = (3.5 ± 2.0 ± 0.2) ×10⁻⁶ and B[ϒ(2S) → Pc¯cs(4459)⁰/ P¯c¯cs(4459)⁰ + anything] = (2.9 ± 1.7 ± 0.4) × 10⁻⁶. The inclusive branching fractions of ϒ(1S; 2S) → J/ψΛ/Λ¯ are measured to be B[ϒ(1S) → J/ψΛ/Λ¯ + anything] = (36.9 ± 5.3 ± 2.4) × 10⁻⁶ and B[ϒ(2S) → J/ψΛ/Λ¯ + anything] = (22.3 ± 5.7 ± 3.1) × 10⁻⁶. We measure the visible cross section σ(e⁺e⁻ → J/ψΛ/Λ¯ + anything) = (90 ± 14 ± 6) fb for the continuum production at √s = 10.52 GeV. In all cases, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
