  2. Introduction Bln • Leptonic decay proceeding through W boson annihilation in the Standard Model • Decay rate simply related to B meson decay constant fB and |Vub| Helicity suppressed by lepton mass : tn is favored over en and mn • Clean experimental method of measuring B meson decay constant fB • Physics beyond the SM could enhance the branching fraction through the introduction of a charged Higgs boson Koji Ikado Beauty 2006

  3. Introduction (cont.) B0l+ l- l l l d l d • Neutral B mesons decay to l+l- via box or penguin annihilation • Branching fractions are suppressed by lepton mass • Flavor violating channel (B0e+ m–, etc.) are forbidden in SM • Some new-physics can enhance the branching fractions by orders of magnitude B(B0 e+e–) ~ 10-15B(B0m+m–) ~ 10-10B(B0nn) ~ zero Koji Ikado Beauty 2006

  6. Btn Analysis Concepts@Belle e+ (4S) B- B+ ne n n B++, +e+e B-X • B decays with missing neutrinos lack the kinematic constraints which are used to separate signal events from backgrounds (Mbc and DE) • Reconstruct the decay of the non-signal B (tagging), then look for the signal decay in whatever is left over More than 2 neutrinos appear in B tn decay Tagging side : Fully reconstruct hadronic modes Signal side : Reconstruct particles from t decay Koji Ikado Beauty 2006
