Measurement of the decays and in fully reconstructed events at Belle
Abstract
We report branching fraction measurements of the decays B+ → ηℓ+νℓ and B+ → η'ℓ+νℓ based on 711 fb–1 of data collected near the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e– collider. This data sample contains 772 million BB¯ events. One of the two B mesons is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode. Among the remaining (“signal-B”) daughters, we search for the η meson in two decay channels, η → γγ and η → π+π–π0, and reconstruct the η' meson in η' → ηπ+π– with subsequent decay of the η into γγ. Combining the two η modes and using an extended maximum likelihood, the B+ → ηℓ+νℓ branching fraction is measured to be (4.2 ± 1.1(stat.) ± 0.3(syst.)) × 10–5. For B+ → η'ℓ+νℓ, we observe no significant signal and set an upper limit of 0.72 × 10–4 at 90% confidence level.
