The analysis studies P-wave B-s(0) meson decays into B(*)(+)K(-)and B(*)K-0(S)0, where the B+ and B-0 mesons are identified using the decays B+ -> J/psi K+ and B-0 -> J/psi K* (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 (BKS0)-K-0 is observed, together with a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the B-s2*(5840)(0) -> B+K- decay.engopenAccessStudies of Bs2∗ (5840)0 and B s 1 (5830) 0 mesons including the observation of the Bs2∗ (5840)0 → B0 KS0 decay in proton-proton collisions at √s=8TeVarticle781100045060840000410.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6390-zCMSPhysicsb hadronsHeavy flavour spectroscopyHadron spectroscopyExperimental results2-s2.0-85056580621
