Book Description
Semileptonic B meson decays into final states containing the [tau] lepton are of interesting as they provide information on the Standard Model as well as a window on new physics effects. We present results on {bar B} → D{sup (*)} [tau]{bar {nu}}{sub {tau}} decays where the second B in the event is fully reconstructed.

Book Description
The authors present measurements of the semileptonic decays B− → D°?− {bar?}{sub?}, B− → D*°?−{bar {nu}}{sub?}, {bar B}° → D?− {bar {nu}}{sub?}, and {bar B}° → D*+?−{bar {nu}}{sub?}, which are sensitive to non-Standard Model amplitudes in certain scenarios. The data sample consists of 232 x 106?(4S) → B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e− collider. They select events with a D or D* meson and a light lepton (l = e or?) recoiling against a fully reconstructed B meson. They perform a fit to the joint distribution of lepton momentum and missing mass squared to distinguish signal B → D{sup (*)}?− {bar {nu}}{sub?} ({tau}− → l− {bar {nu}}{sub l}{nu}{sub {tau}}) events from the backgrounds, predominantly B → D{sup (*)} l−{bar {nu}}{sub l}. They measure the branching-fraction ratios R(D) {triple_bond}?(B → D{tau}− {bar {nu}}{sub {tau}})/?(B → Dl− {bar {nu}}{sub {ell}}) and R(D*) {triple_bond}?(B → D*{tau}− {bar {nu}}{sub {tau}})/?(B → D* {ell}− {bar {nu}}{sub {ell}}) and, from a combined fit to B− and {bar B}° channels, obtain the results R(D) = (41.6 ± 11.7 ± 5.2)% and R(D*) = (29.7 ± 5.6 ± 1.8)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic. Normalizing to measured B− → D{sup (*)0} {ell}− {bar {nu}}{sub {ell}} branching fractions, they obtain?(B → D{tau}− {bar {nu}}{sub {tau}}) = (0.86 ± 0.24 ± 0.11 ± 0.06)% and?(B → D*{tau}− {bar {nu}}{sub {tau}}) = (1.62 ± 0.31 ± 0.10 ± 0.05)%, where the additional third uncertainty is from the normalization mode. They also present, for the first time, distributions of the lepton momentum,

Book Description
We present the results of a search for four exclusive semileptonic decays B & rarr; D(*)tau -nutau in 209 fb -1 of data collected with the BABAR detector, corresponding to 232 million e+e - & rarr; Upsilon(4S) & rarr; B B events. We select events with a D (*) meson and a light lepton (e or mu) recoiling against a fully-reconstructed B meson. We perform a fit to the lepton spectrum and missing mass squared to discriminate signal events from backgrounds, predominantly B & rarr; D (*) & ell;-nu & ell; . A control sample of identified D** & ell;- nu & ell; events is included in the fit to estimate the background contribution from these decays. We measure B (B & rarr; Dtaunu) = (0.86+/-0.24+/-0.11+/-0.06)% and B (B & rarr; D*taunu) = (1.62+/-0.31+/-0.10+/-0.05)%, where the errors are statistical, systematic, and normalization-mode related, respectively, and where the results are expressed for the B0 lifetime.

Pages : 3
Book Description
Based on an 87-fb{sup -1} dataset collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-Factory, a search for D{sup 0}-{bar D}{sup 0} mixing has been made using the semileptonic decay modes D*{sup +} {yields} {pi}{sup +}D{sup 0}, D{sup 0} {yields} Ke{nu} (+c.c.). The use of these modes allows unambiguous flavor tagging and a combined fit of the D{sup 0} decay time and D*{sup +}-D{sup 0} mass difference ({Delta}M) distributions. The high-statistics sample of unmixed semileptonic D{sup 0} decays is used to model the {Delta}M distribution and time-dependence of mixed events directly from the data. Neural networks are used to select events and reconstruct the D{sup 0}. A result consistent with no charm mixing has been obtained, R{sub mix} = 0.0023 {+-} 0.0012 {+-} 0.0004. This corresponds to an upper limit of R{sub mix}

One of the two B mesons from the [Upsilon](4S) is reconstructed in a hadronic or a semileptonic final state and the decay products of the other B in the event are analyzed for consistency with a B[sup -] [yields] [tau][sup -] [bar [nu]][sub [tau]] decay.
