Distribution of $m_{ { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi}$ for the data and the fit results with a model containing only $K^{*+}\rightarrow \phi K^+$ contributions.

Masses of kaon excitations obtained in the default amplitude fit to the LHCb data, shown as red points with statistical (thicker bars) and total (thinner bars) errors, compared with the predictions by Godfrey--Isgur [41] (horizontal black lines) for the most likely spectroscopic interpretations labeled with $n{}^{2S+1}L_J$ (see the text). Experimentally established states are also shown with narrower solid blue boxes extending to $\pm1\sigma$ in mass and labeled with their PDG names [31]. Unconfirmed states are shown with dashed green boxes. The long horizontal red lines indicate the $\phi K$ mass range probed in $B^+\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi K^+$ decays. Decays of the $2{}^{3}{\rm P}_{0}$ state ($J^P=0^+$) to $\phi K^+$ are forbidden.

Distributions of (top left) $\phi K^+$, (top right) $ { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} K^+$ and (bottom) $ { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi$ invariant masses for the $B^+\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi K^+$ candidates (black data points) compared with the results of the default amplitude fit containing eight $K^{*+}\rightarrow \phi K^+$ and five $X\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi$ contributions. The total fit is given by the red points with error bars. Individual fit components are also shown.

Previous results related to the $X(4140)\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi$ mass peak. The number of reconstructed $B^+\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi K^+$ decays ($N_B$) is given if applicable. Significances ($\sigma$) correspond to numbers of standard deviations. Upper limits on the $X(4140)$ fraction of the total $B^+\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi K^+$ rate are at 90% confidence level. The statistical and systematic errors are added in quadrature and then used in the weights to calculate the averages, excluding unpublished results (shown in italics).

Results for significances, masses, widths and fit fractions (\rm FF) of the components included in the default amplitude model. The first (second) errors are statistical (systematic). Possible interpretations in terms of kaon excitation levels are given for the resonant $\phi K^+$ fit components. Comparisons with the previously experimentally observed kaon excitations [31] and $X\rightarrow { J \mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi \mskip 2mu} \phi$ structures are also given.
