Evidence for B-τ-ν¯τ with a Hadronic Tagging Method Using the Full Data Sample of Belle

Description

In this work, we measure the branching fraction of B-τ-ν¯τ using the full Υ(4S) data sample containing 772×106BB¯ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. Events with BB¯ pairs are tagged by reconstructing one of the B mesons decaying into hadronic final states, and B-τ-ν¯τ candidates are detected in the recoil. We discover evidence for B-τ-ν¯τ with a significance of 3.0 standard deviations including systematic errors and measure a branching fraction B(B-τ-ν¯τ)=[0.72-0.25+0.27(stat)±0.11(syst)]×10-4.
