We report the first measurement of the $tau$ lepton polarization in the decay ${bar B} rightarrow D^* tau^- {bar u_{tau}}$ as well as a new measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions $R(D^{*}) = mathcal{B}({bar B} rightarrow D^* tau^- {bar u_{tau}}) / mathcal{B}({bar B} rightarrow D^* ell^- {bar u_{ell}})$, where $ell^-$ denotes an electron or a muon, with the decays $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_{tau}$ and $tau^- rightarrow rho^- u_{tau}$. We use the full data sample of $772 times 10^6$ $B{bar B}$ pairs accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. Our preliminary results, $R(D^*) = 0.276 pm 0.034{rm (stat.)} ^{+0.029} _{-0.026}{rm (syst.)}$ and $P_{tau} = -0.44 pm 0.47 {rm (stat.)} ^{+0.20} _{-0.17} {rm (syst.)}$, are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the Standard Model within $0.6$ standard deviation.
We report the first measurement of the $tau$ lepton polarization $P_tau(D^*)$ in the decay $bar{B} rightarrow D^* tau^- bar{ u}_tau$ as well as a new measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions $R(D^{*}) = mathcal{B}(bar {B} rightarrow D^* tau^- bar{ u}_tau) / mathcal{B}(bar{B} rightarrow D^* ell^- bar{ u}_ell)$, where $ell^-$ denotes an electron or a muon, and the $tau$ is reconstructed in the modes $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_tau$ and $tau^- rightarrow rho^- u_tau$. We use the full data sample of $772 times 10^6$ $B{bar B}$ pairs recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. Our results, $P_tau(D^*) = -0.38 pm 0.51 {rm (stat.)} ^{+0.21}_{-0.16} {rm (syst.)}$ and $R(D^*) = 0.270 pm 0.035{rm (stat.)} ^{+0.028}_{-0.025}{rm (syst.)}$, are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the Standard Model.
With the full data sample of $772 times 10^6$ $B{bar B}$ pairs recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider, the decay $bar{B} rightarrow D^* tau^- bar{ u}_tau$ is studied with the hadronic $tau$ decays $tau^- rightarrow pi^- u_tau$ and $tau^- rightarrow rho^- u_tau$. The $tau$ polarization $P_tau(D^*)$ in two-body hadronic $tau$ decays is measured, as well as the ratio of the branching fractions $R(D^{*}) = mathcal{B}(bar {B} rightarrow D^* tau^- bar{ u}_tau) / mathcal{B}(bar{B} rightarrow D^* ell^- bar{ u}_ell)$, where $ell^-$ denotes an electron or a muon. Our results, $P_tau(D^*) = -0.38 pm 0.51 {rm (stat)} ^{+0.21}_{-0.16} {rm (syst)}$ and $R(D^*) = 0.270 pm 0.035{rm (stat)} ^{+0.028}_{-0.025}{rm (syst)}$, are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the Standard Model. The polarization values of $P_tau(D^*) > +0.5$ are excluded at the 90% confidence level.
We present a measurement of the Michel parameters of the $tau$ lepton, $bar{eta}$ and $xikappa$, in the radiative leptonic decay $tau^- rightarrow ell^- u_{tau} bar{ u}_{ell} gamma$ using 711~f$mathrm{b}^{-1}$ of collision data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. The Michel parameters are measured in an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the kinematic distribution of $e^+e^-rightarrowtau^+tau^-rightarrow (pi^+pi^0 bar{ u}_tau)(ell^- u_{tau}bar{ u}_{ell}gamma)$ $(ell=e$ or $mu)$. The measured values of the Michel parameters are $bar{eta} = -1.3 pm 1.5 pm 0.8$ and $xikappa = 0.5 pm 0.4 pm 0.2$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first measurement of these parameters. These results are consistent with the Standard Model predictions within their uncertainties and constrain the coupling constants of the generalized weak interaction.
We report the first measurement of the $D^{ast -}$ meson polarization in the decay $B^0 to D^{*-} tau^+ u_{tau}$ using the full data sample of 772$times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. Our result, $F_L^{D^ast} = 0.60 pm 0.08 ({rm stat}) pm 0.04 ({rm sys})$, where $F_L^{D^ast}$ denotes the $D^{ast-}$ meson longitudinal polarization fraction, agrees within about $1.7$ standard deviations of the standard model prediction.
We report a measurement of ratio ${cal R}(D^*) = {cal B}(bar{B}^0 rightarrow D^{*+} tau^- bar{ u}_{tau})/{cal B}(bar{B}^0 rightarrow D^{*+} ell^- bar{ u}_{ell})$, where $ell$ denotes an electron or a muon. The results are based on a data sample containing $772times10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs recorded at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. We select a sample of $B^0 bar{B}^0$ pairs by reconstructing both $B$ mesons in semileptonic decays to $D^{*mp} ell^{pm}$. We measure ${cal R}(D^*)= 0.302 pm 0.030({rm stat)} pm 0.011({rm syst)}$, which is within $1.6 sigma$ of the Standard Model theoretical expectation, where $sigma$ is the standard deviation including systematic uncertainties.
