Abstract:

We have studied the decayB¯→Dlν¯ where l = e or μ. From a fit to the differential decay ratedγ/dwwe measure the rate normalizationFD(1) |V cb | and form factor slopeρˆ2D, and, using measured values ofτB, findγ(B¯→Dlv¯) = (12.0 ± 0.9 ± 2.1) ns−1 . The resulting branching fractions areB (B¯0 → D+ l−ν¯) = (1.87 ± 0.15 ± 0.32)% and B (B− → D0l−ν¯) = (1.94 ± 0.15 ± 0.34)% . The form factor parameters are in agreement with those measured in B¯ → D*l−ν¯ decays, as predicted by heavy quark effective theory. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Using data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have determined the ratio of branching fractions: [Formula presented]. From this ratio, we have determined the QCD scale parameter [Formula presented] (defined in the modified minimal subtraction scheme) to be [Formula presented] MeV, from which we determine a value for the strong coupling constant [Formula presented], or [Formula presented]. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have searched for the rare decay of the [Formula presented] meson [Formula presented] using the CLEO II detector. The [Formula presented]’s were produced in [Formula presented] collisions with 10 GeV center-of-mass energy at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). We find with [Formula presented] confidence the upper limit on the branching fraction [Formula presented]. The application of conventional elementary particle theory to this decay predicts a branching fraction of about [Formula presented]. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
