Abstract
The mass spectrum is studied with a sample of collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of , collected by the LHCb experiment. The is reconstructed in the decay mode . Five new, narrow excited states are observed: the , , , , and . Measurements of their masses and widths are reported.
