Search for the rare decays B± l±ll±ν at the Belle experiment

Description

The leptonic B Meson decay with light charged leptons in the final state is strongly helicity suppressed in the Standard Model. This suppression can in principle be lifted if a real or virtual photon is emitted from the quark-lines before the decay, what enhances the branching fraction. The decays B± l±ll±ν, where two of the leptons result from an emitted γ(), presents the opportunity to study this effect of the cancellation of the helicity suppression in detail. The branching fraction itself also depends on the first inverse moment of the light-cone distribution, λB, which is a non-perturbative parameter important for QCD factorization. The parameter λB cannot be calculated from first principles and a measurement of the branching fraction of B± l±ll±ν allows its determination. This talk presents the current status of the search for this decay signature using the full Belle dataset of 711 fb1 of integrated luminosity. The simulated and recorded collisions were converted with the B2BII tool to allow the analysis to take place in the Belle II software framework.
