    International audienceWe report the measurement of the branching fraction and CPCP asymmetry for the Bˉ0(B0)KS0Kπ±\bar{B}^{0}(B^{0})\to K^{0}_{S}K^{\mp}\pi^{\pm} decay. The analysis is performed on a data sample of 711 fb1\rm{fb}^{-1} collected at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^{+}e^{-} collider. We obtain a branching fraction of (3.60±0.33±0.15)×106(3.60\pm0.33\pm0.15)\times10^{-6} and an ACP\mathcal{A}_{CP} of (8.5±8.9±0.2)%(-8.5\pm8.9\pm0.2)\%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Hints of peaking structures are also observed in the differential branching fraction as functions of Dalitz variables

    We report a measurement of the ratios of branching fractions R(D)=B(BˉDτνˉτ)/B(BˉDνˉ)\mathcal{R}(D) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}) and R(D)=B(BˉDτνˉτ)/B(BˉDνˉ)\mathcal{R}(D^{\ast}) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}), where \ell denotes an electron or a muon. The results are based on a data sample containing 772×106772\times10^6 BBˉB\bar{B} events recorded at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ee^+ e^- collider. The analysis utilizes a method where the tag-side BB meson is reconstructed in a semileptonic decay mode, and the signal-side τ\tau is reconstructed in a purely leptonic decay. The measured values are R(D)=0.307±0.037±0.016\mathcal{R}(D)= 0.307 \pm 0.037 \pm 0.016 and R(D)=0.283±0.018±0.014\mathcal{R}(D^{\ast})= 0.283 \pm 0.018 \pm 0.014, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions within 0.20.2 and 1.11.1 standard deviations, respectively, while their combination agrees with the Standard Model predictions within 1.21.2 standard deviations

    International audienceWe present measurements of the branching fractions for the decays B → Kμ+^{+}μ^{−} and B → Ke+^{+}e^{−}, and their ratio (RK_{K}), using a data sample of 711 fb1^{−1} that contains 772 × 106BB^{6} B\overline{B} events. The data were collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+^{+}e^{−} collider. The ratio RK_{K} is measured in five bins of dilepton invariant-mass-squared (q2^{2}): q2^{2} ∈ (0.1, 4.0), (4.00, 8.12), (1.0, 6.0), (10.2, 12.8) and (> 14.18) GeV2^{2}/c4^{4}, along with the whole q2^{2} region. The RK_{K} value for q2^{2} ∈ (1.0, 6.0) GeV2^{2}/c4^{4} is 1.030.24+0.28 {1.03}_{-0.24}^{+0.28} ± 0.01. The first and second uncertainties listed are statistical and systematic, respectively. All results for RK_{K} are consistent with Standard Model predictions. We also measure CP-averaged isospin asymmetries in the same q2^{2} bins. The results are consistent with a null asymmetry, with the largest difference of 2.6 standard deviations occurring for the q2^{2} ∈ (1.0, 6.0) GeV2^{2}/c4^{4} bin in the mode with muon final states. The measured differential branching fractions, dB d\mathrm{\mathcal{B}} /dq2^{2}, are consistent with theoretical predictions for charged B decays, while the corresponding values are below the expectations for neutral B decays. We have also searched for lepton-flavor-violating B → Kμ±^{±}e^{∓} decays and set 90% confidence-level upper limits on the branching fraction in the range of 108^{−8} for B+^{+} → K+^{+}μ±^{±}e^{∓}, and B0^{0} → K0^{0}μ±^{±}e^{∓} modes.[graphic not available: see fulltext

    Test of lepton flavor universality in BK+{B\to K^\ast\ell^+\ell^-} decays at Belle

    No full text
    We present a measurement of RKR_{K^{\ast}}, the ratio of the branching fractions B(BKμ+μ){\cal B}(B\to K^\ast \mu^+ \mu^-) and B(BKe+e){\cal B}(B\to K^\ast e^+ e^-), for both charged and neutral BB mesons. The ratio for charged BB mesons, RK+R_{K{^{\ast +}}}, is the first measurement ever performed. The analysis is based on a data sample of 711 fb1711~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}, containing 772×106772\times 10^{6} BBˉB\bar B events, recorded at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider

    International audienceWe report the first measurement of the DD^{\ast -} meson polarization in the decay B0Dτ+ντB^0 \to D^{*-} \tau^+\nu_{\tau} using the full data sample of 772×106\times 10^6 BBˉB\bar{B} pairs recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. Our result, FLD=0.60±0.08(stat)±0.04(sys)F_L^{D^\ast} = 0.60 \pm 0.08 ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.04 ({\rm sys}), where FLDF_L^{D^\ast} denotes the DD^{\ast-} meson longitudinal polarization fraction, agrees within about 1.71.7 standard deviations of the standard model prediction

    Study of χbJ(nP)ωΥ(1S)\chi_{bJ}(nP) \rightarrow \omega \Upsilon(1S) at Belle

    No full text
    We report results from a study of hadronic transitions of the χbJ(nP)\chi_{bJ}(nP) states of bottomonium at Belle. The PP-wave states are reconstructed in transitions to the Υ(1S)\Upsilon(1S) with the emission of an ω\omega meson. The transitions of the n=2n=2 triplet states provide a unique laboratory in which to study nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, as the kinematic threshold for production of an ω\omega and Υ(1S)\Upsilon(1S) lies between the J=0J=0 and J=1J=1 states. A search for the χbJ(3P)\chi_{bJ}(3P) states is also reported

    We present preliminary results on the reconstruction of the B0J/ψKL0B^0\to J\mskip 1mu / \psi\mskip 2mu K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle L} decay, where J/ψμ+μJ\mskip 1mu / \psi\mskip 2mu\to\mu^+\mu^- or e+ee^+e^-. Using a dataset corresponding to a luminosity of 62.8\pm0.6\mbox{fb}^{-1} collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy e+ee^+e^- collider, we measure a total of 267±21267\pm21 candidates with J/ψμ+μJ\mskip 1mu / \psi\mskip 2mu\to\mu^+\mu^- and 226±20226\pm20 with with J/ψe+eJ\mskip 1mu / \psi\mskip 2mu\to e^+e^-.
