Title: Search for B++ ν γ decays with hadronic tagging using the full Belle data sample

Abstract

We search for the decay B+ → ℓ+νℓγ with ℓ+ = e+ or μ+ using the full Belle data set of 772 × 106BB¯ pairs, collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e collider. We reconstruct one B meson in a hadronic decay mode and search for the B+ → ℓ+νℓγ decay in the remainder of the event. Here, we observe no significant signal within the phase space of E$$^{sig}_{γ}$$ > 1 GeV and obtain upper limits of B(B+ → e+νeγ) < 6.1 × 10–6, B(B+ → μ+νμγ) < 3.4 × 10–6, and B(B+ → ℓ+νγ) < 3.5 × 10–6 at 90% credibility level.
