  1. Search for exclusive two body decaysof B→Ds*h at Belle Luminda Kulasiri University of Cincinnati • Outline • Motivation • Results • Summary

  2. c c s s W- W- *- *- b DS DS b u * * u Vcs Vcs Vub Vub p+ p0 B- d d u u Motivation – Ds*+-,Ds*+0 B0 ‘Spectator’ diagram • Clean Measurement for Vub – no penguins • Model Independent • Not yet seen • Sin(21+3)

  3. *+ DS b * Vcb Vud s B0 W s d K- u Motivation – Ds*-K+ • W-exchange first seen in B0→ Ds-K+ (br = (4.61.3) x10-5) • PRL 89, 231804(2002) • Not yet seen • - sensitivity ~ 1X10-5 • - could be seen • Role of the final state interactions • D+-, D00 can turn out to beDs*-K+ • (B. Block et al. PRL 78, 3999, 1997) +1.2 -1.1 W-exchange

  5. Candidate Selection & Background Suppression Decay Chain B0→ Ds*+-, B0→ Ds*-K+, B+→ Ds*+0 Ds*+→ Ds+ Ds+→ {+, KSK+, K*K+} →K+K-, KS→+-, K*→K+-

  6. Photon Energy (E()) Bg. Signal GeV Candidate Selection & Background Suppression • Mass selections - 3  • PID > 0.6 • M = M(Ds) - M(Ds) • | M- 0.1438| < 0.020 GeV • Helicity angle(θh) – for /K* • Angle between momentum of DSand momentum of K in (K*) frame. • Photon-Ecm()>110 MeV, 0 veto • Pcm(Ds*) < 2.5 GeV |cos(θh)| > 0.3 C.M frame (4S) frame

  8. qr x (QDS) • qr -flavor info. of the other B; • q = +1/-1 for B0/B0 • 0< r <1; r- tagging quality • QDS- Ds Charge Candidate Selection & Background Suppression Fisher Discriminant – 9 variables • cosine of Thrust Angle • θth – angle bet. thrust axis of B and thrust axis of rest of the event • Fox-Wolfram moments • cos(B) • B - angle between B flight direction and beam axis Signal (10K events) continuum Arbitrary units FD

  9. - Fitting (275 Million BB events) • Fitted distribution M =M(Ds*+) –M(Ds+) -Simultaneous fit for the three Ds modes to Br -binned maximum likelihood • Signal – Gaussian, mean, width fixed (MC) • Bg. – linear shape by fitting data ( sig. region excluded), wide cuts • Significance - Lmax - max. likelihood L(0) – max. likelihood if signal is zero

  10. M and E DS*+- DS*-K+ DS*+0 (2.14 0.81)x10-5 (2.43 1.11)x10-5 (1.64 0.66)x10-5 M E

  11. Yields and Branching fractions(Preliminary)

  12. Systematic Uncertainties • 3 Ds modes – common errors, independent errors separately calculated • Highest errors come from B(Ds→) • MC combines Ds modes Common errors

  13. Systematic Uncertainties Independent Errors (%) separately Br (Ds→) – 25%

  14. Results & Summary preliminary First error – stat. ; Second error = syst. except Br(Ds→) Third error – syst. from Br(Ds→) • We searched for B→Ds*h events using 275 m BB events • We have seen evidence for B→Ds*, B→Ds*K and B→Ds*0
