Abstract

The results of a study of charm meson production in semileptonic B hadron decays are presented. Based on a sample of 1.72 million hadronic Z⁰ decays the following product branching ratios (averaged over electrons and muons) are obtained: {Mathematical expression} where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The results of a search for the narrow P-wave charmed mesons, (D_J), in semileptonic B decays are also reported. Using the decay channels D_J ⁰→D⁺π^-, D_J ⁰→D^*+π^- and D₊ ^J→D⁰π⁺ we observe a total signal of 44±8_-7 ⁺³ D_J ⁰ and 48±10_-6 ⁺³ D_J ⁺ events. This is the first evidence for semileptonic B decays to charged P-wave charm states. The observed signals also provide evidence for the production of both pseudovector and tensor P-wave charmed mesons in semileptonic B decay. Together these modes are estimated to make up 34±7% of charmed semileptonic B⁰ and B⁺ decays.

N2 - The results of a study of charm meson production in semileptonic B hadron decays are presented. Based on a sample of 1.72 million hadronic Z0 decays the following product branching ratios (averaged over electrons and muons) are obtained: {Mathematical expression} where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The results of a search for the narrow P-wave charmed mesons, (DJ), in semileptonic B decays are also reported. Using the decay channels DJ 0→D+π-, DJ 0→D*+π- and D+ J→D0π+ we observe a total signal of 44±8-7 +3 DJ 0 and 48±10-6 +3 DJ + events. This is the first evidence for semileptonic B decays to charged P-wave charm states. The observed signals also provide evidence for the production of both pseudovector and tensor P-wave charmed mesons in semileptonic B decay. Together these modes are estimated to make up 34±7% of charmed semileptonic B0 and B+ decays.
