Abstract

This Letter presents the first strong evidence for the resolution of the excited B mesons B1 and B2 as two separate states in fully reconstructed decays to B+π-. The mass of B1 is measured to be 5720.6v2.4±1.4 MeV/c2 and the mass difference ΔM between B2 and B1 is 26.2±3.1±0.9 MeV/c2, giving the mass of the B2 as 5746.8±2.4v1.7 MeV/c2. The production rate for B1 and B2 mesons is determined to be a fraction (13.9±1.9±3.2)% of the production rate of the B+ meson.
