Abstract
Measurements of B_{s2}^{*} (5840)⁰ and B_{s1} (5840)⁰ mesons are performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb⁻¹, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The analysis studies P-wave B_{s}^{0} meson decays into B^{(*)}⁺K⁻ and B^{(*)}⁰K_{s}^{0}, where the B⁺ and B⁰ mesons are identified using the decays B⁺ → J/φK⁺ and B⁰ → J/φK* (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 B⁰K_{s}^{0} is observed, together with a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the B_{s2}^{*} (5840)⁰ → B⁺K⁻ decay.
