  1. B  tn and B  D(*)tndecays at BaBar Guglielmo De Nardo University of Napoli “Federico II” and INFN Representing the BaBar collaboration 36th International Conference on High Energy Physics July 2012, Melbourne, Australia

  2. Tagging method Tag this B Then look for signal e+,μ+ νμ,νe ντ ντ ϒ(4S) τ+ B+ ντ X- B- e+,μ+ νμ,νe ϒ(4S) τ+ B+ ντ D0 • Weak signal signature • Decay with missing momentum (many neutrinos in the final state) • Lack of kinematics constraints in final state • background rejection improved reconstructing the companion B • Look for signal in the rest of the event • Expect to find nothing more than visible signal decay products • No additional track and little activity in the calorimeter

  3. Leptonic B decays l+ b + W+ B+ u nℓ l+ b H+ B+ u nℓ • Interesting probe of physics beyond the SM, since also a charged Higgs can mediate the decay • B ➝ tn used in global UT fits. B ➝ mn out of reach of current B-factories B ➝ lnvery clean theoretically. SM uncertainty in the B decay constant fB .and |Vub| value.
