Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have measured the lifetime of an ensemble of particles containing b quarks, tagged with a high p/sub T/ lepton from their semileptonic decay. Using a method which estimates the production point of each particle in the beam ellipse, we measured a lifetime of 0.98 +- 0.12 +- 0.13 psec. We have also studied methods of partially reconstructing B mesons decaying into D/sup/star//minus// mesons plus charged leptons or mesons. We have searched the Mark II PEP data samples and find five candidates for B° decay. Four of these B° candidates form good vertices, and their measured proper lifetimes are presented. 18 refs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present the results of a search for four exclusive semileptonic decays B → D{sup (*)}[tau]−{bar [nu]}{sub [tau]} in 209 fb−1 of data collected with the BABAR detector, corresponding to 232 million e+e- → [Upsilon](4S) → B{bar B} events. We select events with a D{sup (*)} meson and a light lepton (e or [mu]) recoiling against a fully-reconstructed B meson. We perform a fit to the lepton spectrum and missing mass squared to discriminate signal events from backgrounds, predominantly B → D{sup (*)}{tau}−{bar [nu]}{sub {tau}}. A control sample of identified D**l−{bar {nu}}{sub {ell}} events is included in the fit to estimate the background contribution from these decays. We measure [beta](B → D{sub {tau}{nu}}) = (0.86±0.24±0.11±0.06)% and [beta](B → D*{sub {tau}{nu}}) = (1.62±0.31±0.10±0.05)%, where the errors are statistical, systematic, and normalization-mode related, respectively, and where the results are expressed for the {bar B}° lifetime.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the semileptonic decays D + & rarr; eta'e+nu and D+ & rarr; etae+nu using 818 pb-1 of e+ e- collisions recorded by the CLEO-c detector located at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We employ a technique that uses the detector hermeticity to reconstruct the neutrino as missing energy and momentum. We improve the neutrino resolution by developing a generic algorithm to reconstruct the non-signal D, and constrain systematic uncertainties in the efficiency by using the algorithm to measure the branching fractions of D+ and D0 hadronic decays. We observe and measure the branching fractions of 67 hadronic decays, 32 of which are not listed in the PDG 2008. We find B (D+ & rarr; eta'e +nu) = (2.16 +/- 0.53 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.05) x 10-4 and B (D+ & rarr; etae +nu) = (11.7 +/- 0.98 +/- 0.34 +/- 0.26) x 10-4. Among the 67 D hadronic branching fractions observed in this analysis, we discover the decay B (D+ & rarr; pi+etaeta) = (0.34 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.032)% which is unexpectedly large considering the limited phase space available to the decay.

Book excerpt: This 2nd edition is an extensive update of "B Decays?. The revisions are necessary because of the extensive amount of new data and new theoretical ideas. This book reviews what is known about b-quark decays and also looks at what can be learned in the future.The importance of this research area is increasing, as evidenced by the approval of the luminosity upgrade for CESR and the asymmetric B factories at SLAC and KEK, and the possibility of experiments at hadron colliders.The key experimental observations made thus far, measurement of the lifetimes of the different B species, B0-B0 mixing, the discovery of ?Penguin? mediated decays, and the extraction of the CKM matrix elements Vub and Vcb from semileptonic decays, as well as more mundane results, are described in great detail by the experimentalists who have been closely involved with making the measurements. Theoretical progress in understanding b-quark decays using HQET and lattice gauge techniques are described by theorists who have developed and used these techniques.Synthesizing the experimental and theoretical information, several articles discuss the implications for the ?Standard Model? and how further tests can be done using measurements of CP violation in the B system.

Book excerpt: We present results on semileptonic B decays obtained with the BABAR detector. The large data set accumulated at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-Factory allows a new measurement technique, where the hadronic decay of one B meson is fully reconstructed and the semileptonic decay of the recoiling B meson is studied. Traditional analysis techniques of inclusive and exclusive B decays complement this approach with very high statistics data samples. These measurements play an important role in the tests of the description of CP violation in the Standard Model: The determinations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements V[sub cb] and V[sub ub] provide constraints on the unitarity of the CKM triangle. Furthermore, the experimental measurement of parameters of Heavy Quark Effective Theory test the consistency of the theoretical description of semileptonic B decays.

Book excerpt: We present measurements of the inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of charged and neutral B mesons using 20.6 fb[sup -1] of data measured at the[Upsilon](4S) with the BABAR detector. Events are tagged with a fully reconstructed hadronic decay of a B meson. The correlation between the flavor of the tag B meson and the electron charge allows the separation of prompt semileptonic B decays and cascade semileptonic charm decays. We obtain the preliminary inclusive semileptonic branching fraction of charged B mesons b[sub+]= 0.103[+-] 0.006[+-] 0.005, neutral B mesons b[sub 0]= 0.104[+-] 0.008[+-] 0.005, their average b= 0.104[+-] 0.005[+-] 0.004, and their ratio b[sub+]/b[sub 0]= 0.99[+-] 0.10[+-] 0.03.
