Abstract

We study the rare B meson decays B[superscript ±,0] → [J over ψ K [superscript +] K [superscript −] K [superscript ±,0]], B[superscript ±,0] → [J over ψϕK[superscript ±,0]], and search for B[superscript 0] → [J over ψϕ], using 469 × 10[superscript 6] B[bar over B] events collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e[superscript +]e[superscript -] asymmetric energy collider. We present new measurements of branching fractions and a study of the [J over ψϕ] mass distribution in search of new charmonium-like states. In addition, we search for the decay B[superscript 0] → [J over ψϕ] and find no evidence of a signal.
