Abstract
Decays of [¯ over B][0 over s] and [¯ over B][superscript 0] mesons into J/ψ π[superscript +]π[superscript −]π[superscript +]π[superscript −] final states, produced in pp collisions at the LHC, are investigated using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb[superscript −1] collected with the LHCb detector. [¯ over B][0 over (s)] → J/ψf[subscript 1](1285) decays are seen for the first time, and the branching fractions are measured. Using these rates, the f[subscript 1](1285) mixing angle between strange and nonstrange components of its wave function in the q[¯ over q] structure model is determined to be ±(24.0[+3.1+0.6 over −2.6−0.8])°. Implications on the possible tetraquark nature of the f[subscript 1](1285) are discussed.
