Evidence for B- → D[ast][ast]0τ-(𝜈)barτ decays
The first evidence for the decay 𝐵−→𝐷**0𝜏−‾𝜈𝜏 is obtained using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1, at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. Here, the 𝐷**0 meson represents any of the three excited charm mesons...

| Zusammenfassung: | The first evidence for the decay 𝐵−→𝐷**0𝜏−‾𝜈𝜏 is obtained using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1, at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. Here, the 𝐷**0 meson represents any of the three excited charm mesons 𝐷1(2420)0, 𝐷*2(2460)0, and 𝐷′1(2400)0. The 𝐵− →𝐷**0𝜏−¯𝜈𝜏 signal is measured with a significance of 3.5𝜎, including systematic uncertainties. The combined branching fraction ℬ(𝐵−→𝐷**01,2𝜏−¯𝜈𝜏)×ℬ(𝐷**01,2→𝐷*+𝜋−), where 𝐷**01,2 denotes both 𝐷1(2420)0 and 𝐷*2(2460)0 contributions, is measured to be [0.051±0.013(stat)±0.006(syst)±0.009(ext)]%, where the last uncertainty reflects that of the branching fraction of the normalization channel 𝐵− →𝐷**01,2𝐷−𝑠(*). The ratio between the tauonic and muonic semileptonic 𝐵 decays, with the latter taken from world average values, is also determined and found to be ℛ(𝐷**01,2)=0.13±0.03(stat)±0.01(syst)±0.02(ext). |
