A Study of the Rare Decays B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +} {pi}{sup -} and B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup -} K{sup +}
- SLAC
The authors report evidence for the decays B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +} {pi}{sup -} and B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup -} K{sup +} and the results of a search for B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +} {pi}{sup -} and B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup -} K{sup +} in a sample of 84 million {Upsilon}(4S) decays into B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} storage ring. The authors measure the branching fractions {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup +} {pi}{sup -}) = (3.2 {+-} 0.9(stat.) {+-} 1.0(syst.)) x 10{sup -5} and {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup -} K{sup +}) = (3.2 {+-} 1.0(stat.) {+-} 1.0(syst.)) x 10{sup -5}. They also set 90% C.L. limits {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup *+} {pi}{sup -}) < 4.1 x 10{sup -5} and {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} D{sub s}{sup *-} K{sup +}) < 2.5 x 10{sup -5}.
