Description

Using the method of tagging a μ first, then checking the recoil side to see if it is a Ds meson, two Ds→μν and three Ds→τν→μννν candidate events are found from a data sample corresponding to 22.3 pb-1, which has been collected at BES at Ecm = 4.03 GeV. The absolute branching ratio of Ds leptonic decay are determined to be Br(Ds→μν) = (0.72+0.70-0.44)% and Br(Ds→τν) = (14+11-8)%. And the Ds decay constant which is independent of any model is given as fDs = (355+96+28-90-28) MeV
