Evidence for B- -> tau- nu_bar with a Semileptonic Tagging Method
We present a measurement of the decay B- -> tau- nu_bar using a data sample
containing 657 million BB_bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with
the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. A sample of
BB_bar pairs are tagged by reconstructing one B meson decaying
semileptonically. We detect the B- -> tau- nu_bar candidate in the recoil. We
obtain a signal with a significance of 3.6 standard deviations including
systematic uncertainties, and measure the branching fraction to be Br(B- ->
tau- nu_bar) = [1.54+0.38-0.37(stat)+0.29-0.31(syst)]*10^-4. This result
confirms the evidence for B- -> tau- nu_bar obtained in a previous Belle
measurement that used a hadronic B tagging method.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, corrected references, to appear in PRD-R

Measurements of Branching Fractions for B0 --> Ds+pi- and B0-bar --> Ds+K-
We present improved measurements of the branching fractions for the decays B0
--> Ds+pi- and B0-bar --> Ds+K- using a data sample of 657x10^6 BB-bar events
collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB
asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. The results are BF(B0 --> Ds+pi-) = (1.99 +/-
0.26 +/- 0.18)x10^-5 and BF(B0-bar --> Ds+K-) = (1.91 +/- 0.24 +/- 0.17)x10^-5,
where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Based on
these results, we determine the ratio between amplitudes of the doubly Cabibbo
suppressed decay B0 --> D+pi- and the Cabibbo favored decay B0 --> D-pi+, R_Dpi
= [1.71 +/- 0.11(stat) +/- 0.09(syst) +/- 0.02(theo)]%, where the last term
denotes the theory error.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figures, 2 tables, published in PRD(RC
Comparação entre métodos de determinação da biomassa microbiana baseados no princípio da fumigação e extração.
We report measurement of the cross section of
between 4.0 and , based on an analysis of initial state
radiation events in a data sample recorded with the Belle
detector. The properties of the and states are determined.
Fitting the mass spectrum of with two coherent
Breit-Wigner functions, we find two solutions with identical mass and width but
different couplings to electron-positron pairs: , , , ;
and and for one solution; or
and for the other. Here,
the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. Evidence for a
charged charmoniumlike structure at is observed in the
intermediate state in the decays.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figure
