Here, we report a measurement of the inclusive semileptonic B s 0 branching fraction in a 121 fb - 1 data sample collected near the Υ ( 5 S ) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e + e - collider. Events with B s 0 ( * ) B ¯ s 0 ( * ) pairs are selected by reconstructing a tag side D s + and identifying a signal side lepton + ( = e , μ ) that is required to have the same-sign charge to ensure that both originate from different B s 0 mesons. The B s 0 X - + ν branching fraction is extracted from the ratio of the measured yields of D s + mesons and D s + + pairs and the known production and branching fractions. The inclusive semileptonic branching fraction is measured to be [ 10.6 ± 0.5 ( stat ) ± 0.7 ( syst ) ] % .
