Abstract

An amplitude analysis of B- -> D- (DKS0)-K-0 decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb(-1), collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. A resonant structure of spin-parity 0(+) is observed in the (DKS0)-K-0 invariant-mass spectrum with a significance of 5.3s. The mass and width of the state, modeled with a Breit-Wigner line shape, are determined to be 2883 +/- 11 +/- 8 MeV/c(2) and 87(-47)(+22) +/- 17 MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These properties and the quark content are consistent with those of the open-charm tetraquark candidate T-cs0(*)(2870)(0) observed previously in the D+K- final state of the B- -> D-D+K- decay. This result confirms the existence of the T-cs0(*)(2870)(0) state in a new decay mode. The T-c10(*) (2900)(0) state, reported in the B- -> D-D+K- decay, is also searched for in the (DKS0)-K-0 invariant-mass sp...
