Tests of the standard model in $B \to D ℓ ν_{ℓ}$ , $B \to D^{*} ℓ ν_{ℓ}$ and $B_{c} \to J / ψ ℓ ν_{ℓ}$

Journal Article Cohen, Thomas D. ; Lamm, Henry ; Lebed, Richard F. - Physical Review D

A number of recent experimental measurements suggest the possibility of a breakdown of lepton (ℓ) universality in exclusive b → cℓν_ℓ semileptonic meson decays. We analyze the full differential decay rates for several such processes, and show how to extract combinations of the underlying helicity amplitudes that are completely independent of m ℓ. Ratios of these combinations for different ℓ (as well as some combinations for a single value of ℓ) therefore equal unity in the standard model and provide stringent tests of lepton universality. Furthermore, the extractions assume the form of weighted integrals over the differential decay rates andmore »« less

$Λ_{c} \to N$ form factors from lattice QCD and phenomenology of $Λ_{c} \to n ℓ^{+} ν_{ℓ}$ and $Λ_{c} \to p μ^{+} μ^{-}$ decays

Journal Article Meinel, Stefan - Physical Review D

We report on a lattice QCD determination of the Λ_c→N vector, axial vector, and tensor form factors. Here, the calculation was performed with 2+1 flavors of domain wall fermions at lattice spacings of a≈0.11 and 0.085 fm and pion masses in the range 230 MeV≲ m_π ≲ 350 MeV. The form factors are extrapolated to the continuum limit and the physical pion mass using modified z expansions. The rates of the charged-current decays Λ_c→ne+ν_e and Λ_c→nμ+ν_μ are predicted to be (0.405 ± 0.016_stat ± 0.020_syst)|V_cd|²ps^₋1 and (0.396 ± 0.016_stat ± 0.020_syst)|V_cd|²ps^₋1, respectively.

Extraction of form Factors from a Four-Dimensional Angular Analysis of $\bar{B} \to D^{*} ℓ^{-} {\bar{ν}}_{ℓ}$

Journal Article Lees, J. P. ; Poireau, V. ; Tisserand, V. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

An angular analysis of the decay B[over ¯]→D^{*}ℓ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{ℓ}, ℓϵ{e,μ}, is reported using the full e^{+}e^{-} collision data set collected by the BABAR experiment at the Υ(4S) resonance. One B meson from the Υ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decay is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode, which constrains the kinematics and provides a determination of the neutrino momentum vector. The kinematics of the semileptonic decay is described by the dilepton mass squared, q^{2}, and three angles. The first unbinned fit to the full four-dimensional decay rate in the standard model is performed in the so-called Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed approach, which employs a generic q^{2}more »« less
