Description

Excited charm states are studied at LHCb both in the pp collision and in decays of B hadrons. The latter method has the advantage of starting from a clean and well defined initial state with known quantum numbers. LHCb presents the observation of new spin-3 mesons decaying to D(*)K and Dπ, as well as many measurements of mass, width and spin of already known mesons.
