Abstract

The observation of the [Formula: see text] structure in [Formula: see text] decays produced in [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV is reported with a statistical significance greater than 5 standard deviations. A fit to the [Formula: see text] mass spectrum is performed assuming the presence of a Breit–Wigner resonance. The fit yields a signal of [Formula: see text] resonance events, and resonance mass and width of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. The parameters of this resonance-like structure are consistent with values reported from an earlier CDF analysis.
