Measurement of the branching ratio of $bar{B}^0 rightarrow D^{*+} tau^- bar{ u}_{tau}$ relative to $bar{B}^0 rightarrow D^{*+} ell^- bar{ u}_{ell}$ decays with a semileptonic tagging method


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We report a measurement of the 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 the standard deviation $sigma$ includes systematic uncertainties. We use this measurement to constrain several scenarios of new physics in a model-independent approach.
