Abstract: Physical review letters 130(23), 231801 (2023). doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.231801, The $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating $Z^{\prime}$ boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a $Z^\prime$ through its invisible decay in the process $e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^- Z^{\prime}$. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019-2020, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.7fb$^{-1}$. We find no excess over the expected standard-model background. We set 90$\%$-confidence-level upper limits on the cross section for this process as well as on the coupling of the model, which ranges from $3 \times 10^{-3}$ at low $Z^{\prime}$ masses to 1 at $Z^{\prime}$ masses of 8$GeV/c^{2}$., Published by APS, College Park, Md.

Abstract: The dark photon $A^\prime$ and the dark Higgs boson $h^\prime$ are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of $A^\prime$ and $h^\prime$ in the dark Higgsstrahlung process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow A^\prime \, h^\prime$ with $A^\prime \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ and $ h^\prime$ invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34 fb$^{-1}$ we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range 1.7--5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range $1.7 \times10^{-8}$--$200 \times10^{-8}$ on the effective coupling $\varepsilon^2 \times \alpha_D$, for $A^\prime$ mass 4.0 GeV/$c^2$ $< M_{A^\prime}< 9.7$ GeV/$c^2$ and $h^\prime$ mass $M_{h^\prime} < M_{A^\prime}$, where $\varepsilon$ is the mixing strength between the Standard Model and the dark photon and $\alpha_D$ is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range.

Abstract: Physical review letters 127(12), 121803 (2021). doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.121803, Using a data sample of 89.5 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the energy $\sqrt{s}=10.52$ GeV with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \ell^{+} \nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e$ or $\mu$). Furthermore, based on an additional data sample of 711 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 10.58$ GeV, the $CP$-asymmetry parameter of $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \pi^{+}$ decay is extracted. The branching fractions are measured to be ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} e^{+} \nu_{e})=(1.72 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.50)\%$ and ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu})=(1.71 \pm 0.17 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.50)\%$ with much improved precision compared to the current world average. The first and the second uncertainty are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third one arises due to the uncertainty of the $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \pi^+$ branching fraction. The corresponding ratio ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} e^{+} \nu_{e})/{\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu})$ is $1.00 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.09$, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter is found to be consistent with zero, ${\cal A}_{CP} = (\alpha_{\Xi^{-}\pi^{+}} + \alpha_{\bar{\Xi}^{+}\pi^{-}})/(\alpha_{\Xi^{-}\pi^{+}} - \alpha_{\bar{\Xi}^{+}\pi^{-}}) = 0.015 \pm 0.052 \pm 0.017$., Published by APS, College Park, Md.

Abstract: Using a data sample of 89.5 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at the energy $\sqrt{s}=10.52$ GeV with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \ell^{+} \nu_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e$ or $\mu$). Furthermore, based on an additional data sample of 711 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 10.58$ GeV, the $CP$-asymmetry parameter of $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \pi^{+}$ decay is extracted. The branching fractions are measured to be ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} e^{+} \nu_{e})=(1.72 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.50)\%$ and ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu})=(1.71 \pm 0.17 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.50)\%$ with much improved precision compared to the current world average. The first and the second uncertainty are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third one arises due to the uncertainty of the $\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \pi^+$ branching fraction. The corresponding ratio ${\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} e^{+} \nu_{e})/{\cal B}(\Xi_{c}^{0} \to \Xi^{-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu})$ is $1.00 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.09$, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter is found to be consistent with zero, ${\cal A}_{CP} = (\alpha_{\Xi^{-}\pi^{+}} + \alpha_{\bar{\Xi}^{+}\pi^{-}})/(\alpha_{\Xi^{-}\pi^{+}} - \alpha_{\bar{\Xi}^{+}\pi^{-}}) = 0.015 \pm 0.052 \pm 0.017$.

Abstract: International audience; Using data samples of 89.5 and 711 fb-1 recorded at energies of s=10.52 and 10.58 GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays Ξc0→Ξ-ℓ+νℓ (ℓ=e or μ) and the CP-asymmetry parameter of Ξc0→Ξ-π+ decay. The branching fractions are measured to be B(Ξc0→Ξ-e+νe)=(1.31±0.04±0.07±0.38)% and B(Ξc0→Ξ-μ+νμ)=(1.27±0.06±0.10±0.37)%, and the decay parameter αΞπ is measured to be 0.63±0.03±0.01 with much improved precision compared with the current world average. The corresponding ratio B(Ξc0→Ξ-e+νe)/B(Ξc0→Ξ-μ+νμ) is 1.03±0.05±0.07, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter ACP=(αΞ-π++αΞ¯+π-)/(αΞ-π+-αΞ¯+π-)=0.024±0.052±0.014 is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the Ξc0→Ξ-π+ branching fraction.

Abstract: We report the study of \OK \ and \SK \ using a $772 \times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pair data sample recorded on the $\Upsilon({\rm 4S})$ resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The following branching fractions are measured: $\mathcal{B}$(\OKPHSP) $=$ $(4.22^{+0.45}_{-0.44}\pm 0.51)\times10^{-6}$, $\mathcal{B}$(\SKPHSP) $=$ $(3.81^{+0.39}_{-0.37} \pm 0.45)\times 10^{-6}$, $\mathcal{B}$(\ETACD+c.c.) $=$ $(2.91^{+0.37}_{-0.35}\pm 0.36)\times 10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}$(\PLPHI) $=$ $(8.18 \pm 2.15 \pm 0.79)\times10^{-7}$, where c.c. denotes the corresponding charge-conjugation process. The intermediate resonance decays are excluded in the four-body decay measurements. We also found evidences for $\mathcal{B}$(\ETACS+c.c.) $=$ $(3.59 \pm 1.52 \pm 0.47) \times 10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}$(\LLKO) $=$ $(2.30 \pm 0.65 \pm 0.25) \times 10^{-6}$. No significant signals are found for \JPSIS+c.c. and \LLKS \ ; we set the 90\% confidence level upper limits on their decay branching fractions as $< 1.85\times10^{-3}$ and $< 2.14\times10^{-6}$, respectively., Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables Submitted to Phys.

Abstract: This work reports the first observation of azimuthal asymmetries around the thrust axis in $e^+e^-$ annihilation of pairs of back-to-back charged pions in one hemisphere, and $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ mesons in the opposite hemisphere. These results are complemented by a new analysis of pairs of back-to-back charged pions. The $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ asymmetries rise with the relative momentum $z$ of the detected hadrons as well as with the transverse momentum with respect to the thrust axis. These asymmetries are sensitive to the Collins fragmentation function $H_1^{\perp}$ and provide complementary information to previous measurements with charged pions and kaons in the final state. In particular, the $\eta$ final states will provide additional information on the flavor structure of $H_1^{\perp}$. This is the first measurement of the explicit transverse-momentum dependence of the Collins fragmentation function from Belle data. It uses a dataset of 980.4~fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV., Comment: 31 pages, 14 figures, submitted to PRD

Abstract: We report measurements of isospin asymmetry $\Delta_{0-}$ and difference of direct $CP$ asymmetries $\Delta A_{CP}$ between charged and neutral $B \to X_s \gamma$ decays. This analysis is based on the data sample containing $772 \times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. Using a sum-of-exclusive technique with invariant $X_s$ mass up to 2.8~GeV/$c^2$, we obtain $\Delta_{0-} = \bigl[-0.48 \pm 1.49 {\rm (stat.)} \pm 0.97 {\rm (syst.)} \pm 1.15 {(f_{+-}/f_{00})}\bigr]$\% and $\Delta A_{CP} = \bigl[+3.69 \pm 2.65 {\rm (stat.)} \pm 0.76{\rm (syst.)}\bigr]$\%, where the last uncertainty for $\Delta_{0-}$ is due to the uncertainty on the production ratio of $B^+B^-$ to $B^0\bar{B}^0$ in $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays. The measured value of $\Delta_{0-}$ is consistent with zero, allowing us to constrain the resolved photon contribution in the $B \to X_s \gamma$, and improve the branching fraction prediction. The result for $\Delta A_{CP}$ is consistent with the prediction of the SM. We also measure the direct $CP$ asymmetries for charged and neutral $B \to X_s \gamma$ decays. All the measurements are the most precise to date., Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, submitted to PRD

Abstract: Using data samples of 89.5~fb$^{-1}$, 711.0~fb$^{-1}$, and 121.4~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider at center-of-mass energies 10.52 GeV, 10.58 GeV, and 10.867 GeV, respectively, we study the exclusive reactions $e^+e^-\to\gamma\chi_{cJ}$ ($J = 0,~1,~2$) and $e^+e^-\to\gamma\eta_c$. A significant $\gamma \chi_{c1}$ signal is observed for the first time at $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV with a significance of $5.1\sigma$ including systematic uncertainties. No significant excesses for $\gamma \chi_{c0}$, $\gamma \chi_{c2}$, and $\gamma \eta_c$ final states are found, and we set 90\% credibility level upper limits on the Born cross sections ($\sigma_{\rm B}$) at 10.52 GeV, 10.58 GeV, and 10.867~GeV. Together with cross sections measured by BESIII at lower center-of-mass energies, the energy dependency of $\sigma_{\rm B}(e^+e^-\to\gamma\chi_{c1})$ is obtained., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: Using data samples of 89.5~fb$^{-1}$, 711.0~fb$^{-1}$, and 121.4~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider at center-of-mass energies 10.52 GeV, 10.58 GeV, and 10.867 GeV, respectively, we study the exclusive reactions $e^+e^-\to\gamma\chi_{cJ}$ ($J = 0,~1,~2$) and $e^+e^-\to\gamma\eta_c$. A significant $\gamma \chi_{c1}$ signal is observed for the first time at $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV with a significance of $5.1\sigma$ including systematic uncertainties. No significant excesses for $\gamma \chi_{c0}$, $\gamma \chi_{c2}$, and $\gamma \eta_c$ final states are found, and we set 90\% credibility level upper limits on the Born cross sections ($\sigma_{\rm B}$) at 10.52 GeV, 10.58 GeV, and 10.867~GeV. Together with cross sections measured by BESIII at lower center-of-mass energies, the energy dependency of $\sigma_{\rm B}(e^+e^-\to\gamma\chi_{c1})$ is obtained.

Abstract: Seminar, We report measurements of isospin asymmetry $\Delta_{0-}$ and difference of direct $CP$ asymmetries $\Delta A_{CP}$ between charged and neutral $B \to X_s \gamma$ decays. This analysis is based on the data sample containing $772 \times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. Using a sum-of-exclusive technique with invariant $X_s$ mass up to 2.8~GeV/$c^2$, we obtain $\Delta_{0-} = \bigl[-0.48 \pm 1.49 {\rm (stat.)} \pm 0.97 {\rm (syst.)} \pm 1.15 {(f_{+-}/f_{00})}\bigr]$\% and $\Delta A_{CP} = \bigl[+3.69 \pm 2.65 {\rm (stat.)} \pm 0.76{\rm (syst.)}\bigr]$\%, where the last uncertainty for $\Delta_{0-}$ is due to the uncertainty on the production ratio of $B^+B^-$ to $B^0\bar{B}^0$ in $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays. The measured value of $\Delta_{0-}$ is consistent with zero, allowing us to constrain the resolved photon contribution in the $B \to X_s \gamma$, and improve the branching fraction prediction. The result for $\Delta A_{CP}$ is consistent with the prediction of the SM. We also measure the direct $CP$ asymmetries for charged and neutral $B \to X_s \gamma$ decays. All the measurements are the most precise to date.

Abstract: A search is presented for the four-body decay $B^0\rightarrow p p \bar{p} \bar{p}$ in a sample of $471$ million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the BaBar detector, operated at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The center-of-mass energy is $10.58$ GeV. From a fit to the distribution of the energy-substituted mass $m_{\mathrm{ES}}$, the result $\mathcal{B}(B^0\rightarrow p p \bar{p} \bar{p})=(1.1 \pm 0.5 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{-7}$ is extracted, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The significance of the signal is $2.9$ standard deviations. The upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be $2.0 \times 10^{-7}$ at $90\%$ confidence level., 7 pages, 6 figures.

Abstract: The process $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-2\pi^0\gamma$ is investigated by means of the initial-state radiation technique, where a photon is emitted from the incoming electron or positron. Using $454.3 \rm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected around a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 10.58 \rm{GeV}$ by the BaBar experiment at SLAC, approximately 150000 signal events are obtained. The corresponding non-radiative cross section is measured with a relative uncertainty of $3.6\%$ in the energy region around $1.5 \rm{GeV}$, surpassing all existing measurements in precision. Using this new result, the channel's contribution to the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is calculated as $(g_\mu^{\pi^+\pi^-2\pi^0}-2)/2 = (17.9 \pm 0.1_\mathrm{stat} \pm 0.6_\mathrm{syst}) \times 10^{-10}$ in the energy range $0.85\rm{GeV} < E_\mathrm{CM} < 1.8\rm{GeV}$. In the same energy range, the impact on the running of the fine structure constant at the $Z^0$-pole is determined as $\Delta\alpha^{\pi^+\pi^-2\pi^0}(M^2_\mathrm{Z}) = (4.44 \pm 0.02_\mathrm{stat} \pm 0.14_\mathrm{syst}) \times 10^{-4}$. Furthermore, intermediate resonances are studied and especially the cross section of the process $e^+e^- \to \omega\pi^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-2\pi^0$ is measured., Comment: Version accepted by PRD. 19 pages, 21 figures

Abstract: Physical review / D 96(3), 032005(2017). doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.96.032005, The inclusive cross sections for dihadrons of charged pions and kaons $(e^+ e^- \to hhX)$ in electron-positron annihilation are reported. They are obtained as a function of the total fractional energy and invariant mass for any di-hadron combination in the same hemisphere as defined by the thrust event-shape variable and its axis. Since same-hemisphere dihadrons can be assumed to originate predominantly from the same initial parton, di-hadron fragmentation functions are probed. These di-hadron fragmentation functions are needed as an unpolarized baseline in order to quantitatively understand related spin-dependent measurements in other processes and to apply them to the extraction of quark transversity distribution functions in the nucleon. The di-hadron cross sections are obtained from a 655 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider., Published by American Physical Society, Woodbury, NY

Abstract: We report the first measurement of the lepton forward-backward asymmetry ${\cal A}_{\rm FB}$ as a function of the squared four-momentum of the dilepton system, $q^2$, for the electroweak penguin process $B \rightarrow X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ with a sum of exclusive final states, where $\ell$ is an electron or a muon and $X_s$ is a hadronic recoil system with an $s$ quark. The results are based on a data sample containing $772\times10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. ${\cal A}_{\rm FB}$ for the inclusive $B \rightarrow X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ is extrapolated from the sum of 10 exclusive $X_s$ states whose invariant mass is less than 2 GeV/$c^2$. For $q^2 > 10.2$ GeV$^2$/$c^2$, ${\cal A}_{\rm FB} < 0$ is excluded at the 2.3$\sigma$ level, where $\sigma$ is the standard deviation. For $q^2 < 4.3$ GeV$^2$/$c^2$, the result is within 1.8$\sigma$ of the Standard Model theoretical expectation., Comment: 13 pages, 23 figures, Belle Preprint 2014-1, KEK preprint 2013-60

A neural-network based hadronic B -meson tagging method is used in this study. The branching fraction of B−→pp¯ℓ−ν¯ℓ is measured to be (5.8−2.1+2.4(stat)±0.9(syst))×10−6 with a significance of 3.2σ , where lepton universality is assumed.

Abstract: We report the first measurement of the lepton forward-backward asymmetry ${\cal A}_{\rm FB}$ for the inclusive electroweak penguin process $B \rightarrow X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ as a function of $q^2=M_{\ell^+\ell^-}^2c^2$, where $\ell$ is an electron or a muon and $X_s$ is a hadronic recoil system with an $s$ quark. The results are based on a data sample containing $772\times10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. For $q^2 > 10.2$ GeV$^2$/$c^2$, ${\cal A}_{\rm FB} < 0$ is excluded at the 2.3$\sigma$ level, where $\sigma$ is the standard deviation. For $q^2 < 4.3$ GeV$^2$/$c^2$, the result is within 1.8$\sigma$ of the theoretical expectation.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the branching fractions and charge-parity-($CP$-)violating parameters in $B\to \omega K$ decays. The results are obtained from the final data sample containing $772×{10}^{6}$ $B\overline{B}$ pairs collected at the $\mathrm{Υ}\left(4S\right)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider. We obtain the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}\left({B}^{0}\to \omega {K}^{0}\right)=\left(4.5±0.4\left(\text{stat}\right)±0.3\left(\text{syst}\right)\right)×{10}^{-6},\mathcal{B}\left({B}^{+}\to \omega {K}^{+}\right)=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\left(6.8±0.4\left(\text{stat}\right)±0.4\left(\text{syst}\right)\right)×{10}^{-6}$ which are in agreement with their respective current world averages. For the $CP$-violating parameters, we obtain ${\mathcal{A}}_{\omega {K}_{S}^{0}}=-0.36±0.19\left(\text{stat}\right)±0.05\left(\text{syst}\right),{\mathcal{S}}_{\omega {K}_{S}^{0}}=+0.91±0.32\left(\text{stat}\right)±0.05\left(\text{syst}\right),{\mathcal{A}}_{\omega {K}^{+}}=-0.03±0.04\left(\text{stat}\right)±0.01\left(\text{syst}\right),$ where $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{S}$ represent the direct and mixing-induced $CP$ asymmetry, respectively. We find no evidence of $CP$ violation in the decay channel ${B}^{+}\to \omega {K}^{+}$; however, we obtain the first evidence of $CP$ violation in the ${B}^{0}\to \omega {K}_{S}^{0}$ decay channel at the level of 3.1 standard deviations.

Abstract: We report an observation of the $B^{\pm} \to J/\psi \eta K^{\pm}$ and $B^0 \to J/\psi \eta K^0_S$ decays using 772$\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We obtain the branching fractions ${\cal B}(B^{\pm}\rightarrow J/\psi\eta K^{\pm})=(1.27\pm 0.11{\rm (stat.)\pm 0.11{\rm (syst.)})}\times10^{-4}$ and ${\cal B}(B^0\to J/\psi \eta K^0_S)=(5.22 \pm 0.78 {\rm(stat.)} \pm 0.49{\rm(syst.)})\times10^{-5}$. We search for a new narrow charmonium(-like) state $X$ in the $J/\psi \eta$ mass spectrum and find no significant excess. We set upper limits on the product of branching fractions, ${\cal B}(B^\pm \to XK^\pm){\cal B}(X \to J/\psi \eta)$, at 3872 MeV$/c^2$ where a $C$-odd partner of X(3872) may exist, at $\psi(4040)$ and $\psi(4160)$ assuming their known mass and width, and over a range from 3.8 to 4.8 GeV$/c^2$. % at a 5 MeV$/c^2$ step. The obtained upper limits at 90% confidence level for $X^{C{\rm -odd}}(3872)$, $\psi(4040)$ and $\psi(4160)$ are 3.8$\times 10^{-6}$, 15.5$\times 10^{-6}$ and 7.4$\times 10^{-6}$, respectively., Comment: Submitted to PTEP

Abstract: We search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays B->K(*)nu nubar, and the invisible decays J/psi->nu nubar and psi(2S)->nu nubar via B->K(*)J/psi and B->K(*)psi(2S) respectively, using a data sample of 471 x10^6 BB pairs collected by the BaBar experiment. We fully reconstruct the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons in the Upsilon(4S)->BB decay, and search for the B->K(*)nu nubar decay in the rest of the event. We observe no significant excess of signal decays over background and report branching fraction upper limits of BR(B+->K+nu nubar)K0nu nubar)< 8.1 x10^-5, BR(B+->K*+nu nubar)K*0nu nubar)Knu nubar)K*nu nubar)nu nubar)nu nubar)K(*)nu nubar decays over the full kinematic spectrum., Comment: 13 pages, 8 postscript figures, published by Phys.

Abstract: Decays of \B mesons into final states containing baryons are much less understood than decays into mesons, and are useful for shedding light on baryon-production mechanisms and intermediate states. We report the results of recent and new studies of such decays, including $\Bm\to\Sigma_c(2455)^{++}\antiproton\pim\pim$, $\Bzb\to\Lambda_c^+\antiproton\proton\antiproton$, and $\B\to D^{(*)}\proton\antiproton (n\pi)$. Both the total decay rates and the resonant structure are reported., Proc. of DIS 2012, 911 - 914; DESY-PROC-2012-02; ISSN 1435-8077

Abstract: We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the exclusive charmless semileptonic decay B+ --> omega l+ nu, where l is either an electron or a muon. We use samples of B+ mesons tagged by a reconstructed charmed semileptonic decay of the other B meson in the event. The measurement is based on a dataset of 426.1 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- storage rings. We measure a branching fraction of BF(B+ --> omega l+ nu) = (1.35 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.11) x 10(-4), where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. We also present measurements of the partial branching fractions in three bins of q2, the invariant-mass squared of the lepton-neutrino system, and we compare them to theoretical predictions of the form factors., Comment: 8 pages, 3 postscript figures, submitted to Physical Review D

Abstract: We find evidence for the semileptonic baryonic decay $B^-\to p\bar p\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e,\mu$), based on a data sample of 772 million $B\bar B$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. A neural-network based hadronic $B$-meson tagging method is used in this study. The branching fraction of $B^-\to p\bar p\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ is measured to be $(5.8^{+2.4}_{-2.1}\textrm{(stat.)}\pm 0.9\textrm{(syst.)})\times 10^{-6}$ with a significance of 3.2$\sigma$, where lepton universality is assumed. We also estimate the corresponding upper limit: $\mathcal{B}(B^-\to p\bar p\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell) < 9.6\times 10^{-6}$ at the 90% confidence level. This measurement helps constrain the baryonic transition form factor in B decays.

Abstract: We present the results of a search for the rare flavor-changing neutral-current decays B --> pi l+l- (pi=pi+/-, pi0 and l = e,mu) and B0 --> eta l+l- using a sample of e+e- --> Y(4S) BB decays decays corresponding to 428 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the BABAR detector. No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit on the isospin and lepton-flavor averaged branching fraction of BF(B --> pi l+l-) < 7.0 x 10^-8 and a lepton-flavor averaged upper limit of BF(B0 --> eta l+l-) < 9.2 x 10^-8, both at the 90% confidence level. We also report 90% confidence level branching fraction upper limits for the individual modes B+ --> pi+ e+e-, B0 --> pi0 e+e-, B+ --> pi+ mu+mu-, B0 --> pi0 mu+mu-, B0 --> eta e+e-, and B0 --> eta mu+mu-.

Abstract: We study the decay $\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}^{+}\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, reconstructing the \Lambda_{c}^{+} baryon in the $p K^{-}\pi^{+}$ mode, using a data sample of $467\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-2 storage rings at SLAC. We measure branching fractions for decays with intermediate $\Sigma_{c}$ baryons to be ${\cal B}[\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Sigma_{c}(2455)^{++}\bar{p}\pi^{-}]=(21.3 \pm 1.0 \pm 1.0 \pm 5.5) \times 10^{-5}$, ${\cal B}[\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Sigma_{c}(2520)^{++}\bar{p}\pi^{-}]=(11.5\pm 1.0 \pm 0.5 \pm 3.0)\times 10^{-5}$, ${\cal B}[\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Sigma_{c}(2455)^{0}\bar{p}\pi^{+}]=(9.1 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4 \pm 2.4)\times10^{-5}$, and ${\cal B}[\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Sigma_{c}(2520)^{0}\bar{p}\pi^{+}]= (2.2 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.1\pm 0.6) \times 10^{-5}$, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the uncertainty on the $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\rightarrow\proton\Km\pi^{+}$ branching fraction, respectively. For decays without $\Sigma_{c}(2455)$ or $\Sigma_{c}(2520)$ resonances, we measure ${\cal B}[\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}^{+}\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}]_{\mathrm{non-\Sigma_{c}}}=(79 \pm 4 \pm 4 \pm 20)\times10^{-5}$. The total branching fraction is determined to be ${\cal B}[\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\Lambda_{c}^{+}\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}]_{\mathrm{total}}=(123 \pm 5 \pm 7 \pm 32)\times10^{-5}$. We examine multibody mass combinations in the resonant three-particle $\Sigma_{c}\bar{p}\pi$ final states and in the four-particle $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ final state, and observe different characteristics for the $\bar{p}\pi$ combination in neutral versus doubly-charged $\Sigma_{c}$ decays.

Abstract: We report the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating angle gamma through the combination of various measurements involving B^{+-} --> D K^{+-}, B^{+-} --> D^{*} K^{+-}, and B^{+-} --> D K^{*+-} decays performed by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II e^{+}e^{-} collider at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Using up to 474 million B\bar{B} pairs, we obtain gamma = (69 ^{+17}_{-16})^\circ (modulo 180^\circ). The total uncertainty is dominated by the statistical component, with the experimental and amplitude-model systematic uncertainties amounting to +-4^\circ. The corresponding two-standard-deviation region is 41^\circ < gamma < 102^\circ. This result is inconsistent with gamma = 0 with a significance of 5.9 standard deviations., Comment: 12 pages, 25 postscript figures, published in Phys. Rev. D

Abstract: Based on the full BaBar data sample, we report improved measurements of the ratios R(D(*)) = B(B -> D(*) Tau Nu)/B(B -> D(*) l Nu), where l is either e or mu. These ratios are sensitive to new physics contributions in the form of a charged Higgs boson. We measure R(D) = 0.440 +- 0.058 +- 0.042 and R(D*) = 0.332 +- 0.024 +- 0.018, which exceed the Standard Model expectations by 2.0 sigma and 2.7 sigma, respectively. Taken together, our results disagree with these expectations at the 3.4 sigma level. This excess cannot be explained by a charged Higgs boson in the type II two-Higgs-doublet model. Kinematic distributions presented here exclude large portions of the more general type III two-Higgs-doublet model, but there are solutions within this model compatible with the results., Comment: 32 pages, 30 postscript figures, submitted to Phys.

Abstract: Physical review letters 130(18), 181803 (2023). doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.181803, We search for lepton-flavor violating $\tau^-\to e^-\alpha$ and $\tau^-\to\mu^-\alpha$ decays, where $\alpha$ is an invisible spin-0 boson. The search uses electron-positron collisions at $10.58$ GeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity of $62.8$ fb$^{-1}$, produced by the SuperKEB collider and collected with the Belle II detector. We search for an excess in the lepton-energy spectrum of the known $\tau^-\to e^-\bar\nu_e \nu_\tau$ and $\tau^-\to \mu^-\bar\nu_\mu \nu_\tau$ decays. We report 95%-confidence-level upper limits on the branching-fraction ratio ${\mathcal B}(\tau^-\to e^- \alpha) / {\mathcal B}(\tau^- \to e^- \bar\nu_e \nu_\tau)$ in the range $(1.1-9.7) \times 10^{-3}$ and on ${\mathcal B}(\tau^-\to \mu^- \alpha) / {\mathcal B}(\tau^- \to \mu^- \bar\nu_\mu \nu_\tau)$ in the range $(0.7-12.2) \times 10^{-3}$ for $\alpha$ masses between $0$ GeV/c$^2$ and 1.6 GeV/c$^2$. These results provide the most stringent bounds on invisible boson production from $\tau$ decays., Published by APS, College Park, Md.

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the time-integrated mixing probability $\chi_d$ using Belle II data collected at a center-of-mass (CM) energy of 10.58 GeV, corresponding to the mass of the $\Upsilon$(4S) resonance, with an integrated luminosity of $34.6 {\rm fb}^{-1}$ at the SuperKEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. We reconstruct pairs of B mesons both of which decay to semileptonic final states. Using a novel methodology, we measure $\chi_d = 0.187 \pm 0.010 \text{ (stat.)} \pm 0.019 \text{ (syst.)}$, which is compatible with existing indirect and direct determinations., Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures, conference note Moriond 2021

Abstract: Physical review letters 130(7), 071804 (2023). doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.071804, The dark photon $A^\prime$ and the dark Higgs boson $h^\prime$ are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of $A^\prime$ and $h^\prime$ in the dark Higgsstrahlung process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow A^\prime \, h^\prime$ with $A^\prime \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ and $ h^\prime$ invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34 fb$^{-1}$ we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range 1.7--5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range $1.7 \times10^{-8}$--$200 \times10^{-8}$ on the effective coupling $\varepsilon^2 \times \alpha_D$, for $A^\prime$ mass 4.0 GeV/$c^2$ $< M_{A^\prime}< 9.7$ GeV/$c^2$ and $h^\prime$ mass $M_{h^\prime} < M_{A^\prime}$, where $\varepsilon$ is the mixing strength between the Standard Model and the dark photon and $\alpha_D$ is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range., Published by APS, College Park, Md.
