Abstract
Using the full CDF Run II data sample, we report evidence for a new resonance, which we refer to as $B(5970)$, found simultaneously in the ${B}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ and ${B}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ mass distributions with a significance of 4.4 standard deviations. We further report the first study of resonances consistent with orbitally excited ${B}^{+}$ mesons and an updated measurement of the properties of orbitally excited ${B}^{0}$ and ${B}_{s}^{0}$ mesons. We measure the masses and widths of all states, as well as the relative production rates of the ${B}_{1}$, ${B}_{2}^{*}$, and $B(5970)$ states and the branching fraction of the ${B}_{s2}^{*0}$ state to either ${B}^{*+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${B}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$. Furthermore, we measure the production rates of the orbitally excited ${B}^{0,+}$ states relative to the ${B}^{0,+}$ ground state. The masses of the new $B(5970)$ resonances are $5978\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}5(\text{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}12(\text{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$ for the neutral state and $5961\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}5(\text{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}12(\text{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$ for the charged state, assuming that the resonance decays into $B\ensuremath{\pi}$ final states. The properties of the orbitally excited and the new $B(5970{)}^{0,+}$ states are compatible with isospin symmetry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
