Abstract:

We have studied semileptonic B meson decays with a p-wave charm meson in the final state using 3.29×10⁶BB^¯ events collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring.We find a value for the exclusive semileptonic product branching fraction B(B⁻→D1⁰ℓ⁻ν^¯ℓ)��(��1⁰→D*+π⁻) = (0.373±0.085±0.052±0.024)% and an upper limit for B(B⁻→D2^*0ℓ-ν^¯ℓ)��(��2^*0→D*+π⁻)<0.16% (90% C.L.).Furthermore, we present the first measurement of the q² spectrum for B⁻→D1⁰ℓ⁻ν^¯ℓ. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 3.9 fb^-1 collected in e⁺e^- annihilation with the CLEO-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured the branching ratios for the decay modes Ds⁺→(η,η′)π⁺ and Ds⁺→(η,η′)��⁺ relative to Ds⁺→φ⁺. These decay modes are among the most common hadronic decays of the Ds⁺ , and can be related by factorization to the semileptonic decays Ds⁺ →(η,η′)ℓ⁺νl. The results obtained are compared with previous CLEO results and with the branching ratios measured for the related semileptonic decays. We also report results on the Cabibbo-suppressed decays of the D⁺ to the same final states. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we report new measurements of the branching fractions for the decays of the charmed baryon Λc+ into pK-π+π0, pK0, pK0π+π-, and pK0π0, all measured relative to pK-π+. The relative branching fractions are 0.67±0.04±0.11,0.46±0.02±0.04,0.52±0.04±0.05, and 0.66±0.05±0.07, respectively. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
