We report a measurement of the branching fraction ratios R(D ( * ) ) ofB → D ( * ) τ −ν τ relative tō B → D ( * ) −ν (where = e or µ) using the full Belle data sample of 772 × 10 6 BB pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e − collider. The measured values are R(D) = 0.375 ± 0.064(stat.) ± 0.026(syst.) and R(D * ) = 0.293 ± 0.038(stat.) ± 0.015(syst.). The analysis uses hadronic reconstruction of the tag-side B meson and purely leptonic τ decays. The results are consistent with earlier measurements and do not show a significant deviation from the standard model prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
