  1. We report a measurement of decay-time-dependent charge-parity ( C P ) asymmetries in B 0 K S 0 K S 0 K S 0 decays. We use 387 × 10 6 B B ¯ pairs collected at the ϒ ( 4 S ) resonance with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. We reconstruct 220 signal events and extract the C P -violating parameters S and C from a fit to the distribution of the decay-time difference between the two B mesons. The resulting confidence region is consistent with previous measurements in B 0 K S 0 K S 0 K S 0 and B 0 ( c c ¯ ) K 0 decays and with predictions based on the standard model.

  2. An amplitude analysis of B D D 0 K S 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 D 0 K S 0 invariant-mass spectrum with a significance of 5.3 σ . 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 c s 0 * ( 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 c s 0 * ( 2870 ) 0 state in a new decay mode. The T c s 1 * ( 2900 ) 0 state, reported in the B D D + K decay, is also searched for in the D 0 K S 0 invariant-mass spectrum of the B D D 0 K S 0 decay, without finding evidence for it. © 2025 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration2025CERN
