Inclusive Semileptonic B Decays at BABAR
نویسنده
چکیده
We present measurements of the inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of charged and neutral B mesons using 20.6 fb−1 of data measured at the Υ (4S) with the BABAR detector. Events are tagged with a fully reconstructed hadronic decay of a B meson. The correlation between the flavor of the tag B meson and the electron charge allows the separation of prompt semileptonic B decays and cascade semileptonic charm decays. We obtain the preliminary inclusive semileptonic branching fraction of charged B mesons b+ = 0.103± 0.006± 0.005, neutral B mesons b0 = 0.104± 0.008± 0.005, their average b = 0.104± 0.005± 0.004, and their ratio b+/b0 = 0.99± 0.10± 0.03.

Semileptonic B Decays at BABAR∗
We present results on semileptonic B decays obtained with the BABAR detector. The large data set accumulated at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-Factory allows a new measurement technique, where the hadronic decay of one B meson is fully reconstructed and the semileptonic decay of the recoiling B meson is studied. Traditional analysis techniques of inclusive and exclusive B decays complement this...

متن کاملMeasurements of Exclusive B → Xclν̄l Decays and |Vcb| at BABAR
The study of B → Xclν̄l decays (l = e or μ and charge conjugate modes are implied) is aimed at understanding the dynamics of b-quark semileptonic decays and to determine the relevant Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements [1]. The coupling strength of the weak b → c transition is proportional to |Vcb|, which has been measured in both inclusive semileptonic B decays [2] and in the exclusive tr...
