Abstract
We present the study of B¯0→ςc(2455)0,++π±p¯ decays based on 772×106 BB¯ events collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. The ςc(2455)0,++ candidates are reconstructed via their decay to Λc+π and Λc+ decays to pK-π+, pKS0, and Λπ+ final states. The corresponding branching fractions are measured to be B(B¯0→ςc(2455)0π+p¯)=(1.09±0.06±0.07)×10-4 and B(B¯0→ςc(2455)++π-p¯)=(1.84±0.11±0.12)×10-4, which are consistent with the world average values with improved precision. A new structure is found in the Mςc(2455)0,++π± spectrum with a significance of 4.2σ including systematic uncertainty. The structure is possibly an excited Λc+ and is tentatively named Λc(2910)..
