Study of Y(5S) decays to B0 and B+ mesons


Abstract in English

Decays of the Y(5S) resonance to channels with B^+ and B^0 mesons are studied using a 23.6 fb^-1 data sample collected on the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. The fully reconstructed B^+ -> J/psi K^+, B^0 -> J/psi K^{*0}, B^+ -> bar_D^0 pi^+ and B^0 -> D^- pi^+ decays are used to obtain the B^+ and B^0 production rates per bb_bar event, f(B^+) = (67.5 pm 3.6 pm 4.8)% and f(B^0)=(70.4^{+5.2}_{-5.1} pm 6.2)%$. Assuming equal rates to B^+ and B^0 mesons in all channels produced at the Y(5S) energy, we measure the fractions for bb_bar event transitions to the two-body and multi-body channels with B^{+/0} meson pairs, f(Bbar{B}) = (5.1 pm 0.9 pm 0.4)%, f(Bbar{B}^*+B^*bar{B}) = (12.6^{+1.2}_{-1.1} pm 1.0)%, f(B^*bar{B}^*) = (34.5^{+1.9}_{-1.8} pm 2.7)%, f(B^{(*)}bar{B}^{(*)}pi(pi)) = (16.4^{+1.6}_{-1.5} pm 1.2)%, f(Bbar{B} pi) = (0.0 pm 1.1 pm 0.2)%, f(Bbar{B}^*pi+B^*bar{B}pi) = (6.8^{+2.1}_{-2.0} pm 0.7)%, and f(B^*bar{B}^*pi) = (1.0^{+1.3}_{-1.2} pm 0.3)%.
