First Observation of the Decay B0->psi(2S)pi0


Abstract in English

We report a measurement of the $B^0rightarrowpsi(2S)pi^0$ branching fraction based on the full $Upsilon(4S)$ data set of $772times10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We obtain $B(B^0rightarrowpsi(2S)pi^0) = (1.17pm0.17text{(stat)}pm0.08text{(syst)})times10^{-5}$. The result has a significance of 7.2 standard deviations and is the first observation of the decay $B^0rightarrowpsi(2S)pi^0$.
