Mass of Y(4140)
The article mentions 4143.0 ± 2.9 ± 1.2 MeV. Is that the mass of Y(4140)? What's the ±1.2, is it some kind of standard deviation of the standard deviation? Κσυπ Cyp  07:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

The first one is "systematic" error while the other is "statistical" error (both are standard deviations). Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 03:34, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

"Particle" is too strong
The resonant phase motion of this peak is not measured, and it isn't observed at all by dedicated B-physics experiments. It could easily be a reflection or other background effect, particularly since all of the analyses that claim to see this state use a very naïve phase space background model.

Therefore I propose to call it a "particle candidate" or "exotic hadron candidate" until either a convincing Argand diagram is published, or it is shown to be something else.
