Study of exclusive charmless semileptonicBdecays and extraction of|Vub|at CLEO

Abstract

We have studied semileptonic B decay to the exclusive charmless states π, ρ/ω, η and η using the full 15.5 fb −1 CLEO Υ(4S) sample, with measurements performed in subregions of phase space to minimize dependence on a priori knowledge of the form factors involved. We find total branching fractions B(B 0 → π − + ν) = (1.37 ± 0.15 stat ± 0.11 sys ) × 10 −4 and B(B 0 → ρ − + ν) = (2.93 ± 0.37 stat ± 0.37 sys ) × 10 −4 . We find evidence for B + → η + ν, with B(B + → η + ν) = (2.66 ± ±0.80 stat ± 0.56 sys ) × 10 −4 and 1.20 × 10 −4 < B(B + → η + ν) < 4.46 × 10 −4 (90% CL). We also limit B(B + → η + ν) < 1.01 × 10 −4 (90% CL). By combining our B → π ν information with unquenched lattice calculations, we find |V ub | = (3.6 ± 0.4 stat ± 0.2 sys +0.6 −0.4thy ) × 10 −3 .2

Flavor and new physics opportunities with rare charm decays into leptons

“…The CKM matrix is given by the UTfit collaboration [58]. The inclusive semileptonic branching fractions are given by the PDG [31], where we use B(D → Xl + ν l ) = B(D → Xl + ), consistent with [60], and employ B(…”

Deep learning approach to the Higgs boson CP measurement in H→ττ decay and associated systematics

“…The modelling is particularly important to the cascade decays a 1 , which involve the propagation of spin into broad intermediate vector resonances (which are difficult to model). The parameterisations are based on measurements from low energy experiments such as CLEO [19] and BaBar [20].…”

“…Standard CLEO (STD) -a parameterisation using the Kuhn-Santamaria (KS) model [21], extended by CLEO with resonances in π 0 π − spectrum. It was developed by CLEO Collaboration for the τ → π 0 π 0 π − ν τ decays [19]. Even though some of postulated resonances were not well established, the CLEO collaboration only fit the coefficients while masses and widths were taken from PDG tables and theoretical predictions of that time.…”

“…Even though some of postulated resonances were not well established, the CLEO collaboration only fit the coefficients while masses and widths were taken from PDG tables and theoretical predictions of that time. The strength of this model is the fit to three-dimensional data [19]. This parameterisation uses the same modelling for both three-and oneprong (the number of charged pions) channels.…”
