Abstract

A search is reported for near-threshold structures in the J=ψJ=ψ invariant mass spectrum produced in proton-proton collisions at ffiffiffi s p ¼ 13 TeV from data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 135 fb−1. Three structures are found, and a model with quantum interference among these structures provides a good description of the data. A new structure is observed with a local significance above 5 standard deviations at a mass of 6638 þ43 −38 ðstatÞþ16 −31 ðsystÞ MeV. Another structure with even higher significance is found at a mass of 6847 þ44 −28 ðstatÞþ48 −20 ðsystÞ MeV, which is consistent with the Xð6900Þ resonance reported by the LHCb experiment and confirmed by the ATLAS experiment. Evidence for another new structure, with a local significance of 4.7 standard deviations, is found at a mass of 7134 þ48 −25 ðstatÞþ41 −15 ðsystÞ MeV. Results are also reported for a model without interference, which does not fit the data as well and shows mass shifts up to 150 MeV relative to the model with interference
