abstract = {A structure is observed in the ${B} ^{\pm }{K} ^{\mp }$
mass spectrum in a sample of proton–proton collisions at
centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with
the LHCb detector and corresponding to a total integrated
luminosity of 9$\,\text {fb} ^{-1}$. The structure is
interpreted as the result of overlapping excited ${B} ^0_{s}
$ states. With high significance, a two-peak hypothesis
provides a better description of the data than a single
resonance. Under this hypothesis the masses and widths of
the two states, assuming they decay directly to ${B} ^{\pm
}{K} ^{\mp }$, are determined to be $\begin{aligned} m_1\&=
6063.5 \pm 1.2 \text { (stat)} \pm 0.8\text { (syst)}\,\text
{Me}\text {V}, \\ \Gamma _1\&= 26 \pm 4 \text { (stat)} \pm
4\text { (syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V}, \\ m_2\&= 6114 \pm 3
\text { (stat)} \pm 5\text { (syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V},
\\ \Gamma _2\&= 66 \pm 18 \text { (stat)} \pm 21\text {
(syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V}. \end{aligned}$Alternative
values assuming a decay through ${B} ^{*\pm }{K} ^{\mp }$,
with a missing photon from the $B^{*\pm } \rightarrow B^{\pm
}\gamma $ decay, which are shifted by approximately
45$\,\text {Me}$V, are also determined. The possibility of a
single state decaying in both channels is also considered.
The ratio of the total production cross-section times
branching fraction of the new states relative to the
previously observed $B_{s2}^{*0}$ state is determined to be
$0.87 \pm 0.15 \text { (stat)} \pm 0.19 \text { (syst)}$.},
