Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have studied semileptonic B meson decays with a P-wave charm meson in the final state using 3.29 x 106 B{bar B} events collected by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring. We find a value for the exclusive semileptonic product branching fraction:?(B− → D1°l−{bar {nu}}{sub l})?(D1° → D*?−) = (0.373 ± 0.085 ± 0.052 ± 0.024)% and an upper limit for?(B− → D*2°l−{bar {nu}}{sub l})?(D*2° → D*+?−)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A largely model-independent measurement of the inclusive electron momentum spectrum and branching fraction for semileptonic decays of B mesons is presented based on data recorded at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. Backgrounds from secondary charm decays are separated from prompt B decays using charge and angular correlations between the electron from one B meson and a high momentum electron tag from the second B meson. The resulting branching fraction is [Beta](B → Xe[nu]) = (10.87 ± 0.18(stat) ± 0.30(syst))%. Based on this measurement we determine the CKM matrix element.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Standard Model of particle physics describes the fundamental building blocks of the Universe and their basic interactions. The model naturally describes the time evolution of the basic particles, of which lifetime and mixing are two examples. The neutral B meson, consisting of a bottom quark and an oppositely charged down quark, enjoys a lifetime of about 1.5 ps and the special property of mixing with its antiparticle partner, the {bar B}{sup 0}. That is, due to second order weak interactions, the B{sup 0} meson can change into a {bar B}{sup 0} meson and back again as it evolves through time. The details of this behavior offer an opportunity to closely examine the Standard Model. In this dissertation, I report on a measurement of the lifetime and mixing frequency of the neutral B meson. Using the semileptonic decay channel B{sup 0} {yields} D*{sup -}{ell}{sup +}{bar {nu}}{sub {ell}}, we select more than 68,000 signal and background candidates from about 23 million B{bar B} pairs collected in 1999-2000 with the BABAR detector located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The other B in the event is reconstructed inclusively. By constructing a master probability density function that describes the distribution of decay time differences in the sample, we use a maximum likelihood technique to simultaneously extract the B{sup 0} lifetime and mixing parameters with precision comparable to the year 2000 world average. The results are {tau}{sub B{sup 0}} = (1.523{sub -0.023}{sup +0.024} {+-} 0.022) ps and {Delta}m{sub d} = (0.492 {+-} 0.018 {+-} 0.013) ps{sup -1}. The statistical correlation coefficient between {tau}{sub B{sup 0}} and {Delta}m{sub d} is -0.22. I describe in detail several cutting-edge strategies this analysis uses to study these phenomena, laying important groundwork for the future. I also discuss several extensions of this work to include possible measurements of higher order parameters such as {Delta}{Lambda}{sub d}.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: We present a search for the decay of the charged B meson into a charged lepton and a neutrino 458.9 million Upsilon(4S) decays recorded with the Babar detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. A sample of events with one reconstructed exclusive semileptonic B decay is selected, and in the recoil a search for the signal decay is performed. The tau lepton is identified in decays to an electron and two neutrinos; a muon and two neutrinos; a charged pion and a neutrino; or a charged pion, a neutral pion, and a neutrino. The analysis strategy and the statistical procedure is set up for branching fraction extraction or upper limit determination. We determine from the data set a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction a charged B decaying to a tau lepton and a neutrino = (1.8 " 0.8 " 0.1)E-4, which excludes zero at 2.4 standard deviations. We extract the B meson decay constant = 255 " 58 MeV. Combination with the hadronically tagged measurement yields (1.8 " 0.6)E-4. We also set preliminary limits on the branching fraction of charged B decaying to an electron and a neutrino at 7.7E-6 and the charged B decaying to a muon and a neutrino at 11E-6. The limits are at the 90% confidence level.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An algorithm for identification of electrons with the BABAR detector is developed. Based on pure samples of electrons and hadrons obtained from data, we determine the electron identification efficiency to be above 90% for momenta above 0.5 GeV/c in the laboratory frame, while the pion fake rate lies between 0.05% and 0.1%. Based on this algorithm, a measurement of the inclusive lepton momentum spectrum in B meson decays is performed. We analyze 4.13 fb^-1 and 0.97 fb^-1 of data recorded at and slightly below the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II a symmetric B-Factory. B-Bbar events are tagged by a high momentum electron. Using charge and angular correlations, leptons from a second semileptonic $B$ decay are separated from secondary charm semileptonic decays. The inclusive branching ratio is measured to be (10.85 +-0.22(stat.) +-0.34(sys))% . Combined with the B lifetime we determine |V_cb| = 0.0406 +-0.0009(exp) +-0.0019(theory).
