Title: Measurement of B(t -> Wb)/B(t -> Wq)

Conference · · Int.J.Mod.Phys.A20:3210,2005
OSTI ID:15020285

The authors measure the ratio R = B(t {yields} Wb)/B(t {yields} Wq) in top-quark decays at CDF. R is determined from the relative rates of identified b jets in t{bar t} decays reconstructed both in the lepton-plus-jets and dilepton final states. They obtain R > 0.62 at the 95% CL, consistent with Standard Model expectations.
