Measurement Of The Branching Fractions For Inclusive B Sup And Bar B Sup 0 Decays To Flavor Tagged D D Sub S And Lambda Sub C

MEASUREMENT OF THE BRANCHING FRACTIONS FOR INCLUSIVE B[sup -] AND [bar B][sup 0] DECAYS TO FLAVOR-TAGGED D, D[sub S] AND LAMBDA[sub C].

The authors report on the inclusive branching fractions of B[sup -] and of [bar B][sup 0] mesons decaying to D[sup 0]X, [bar D][sup 0]X, D[sup +]X, D[sup -]X, D[sub s][sup +]X, D[sub s][sup -]X, [Lambda][sub c][sup +]X, [bar [Lambda]][sub c][sup -]X, based on a sample of 88.9 million B[bar B] events recorded with the BABAR detector at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance. Events are selected by completely reconstructing one B and searching for a reconstructed charmed particle in the rest of the event. The authors measure the number of charmed and of anit-charmed particles per B decay and derive the total charm yield per B[sup -] decay, n[sub c][sup -] = 1.313 [+-] 0.037 [+-] 0.037 [+-] 0.062[sub -0.043][sup +0.063], and per [bar B][sup 0] decay, n[sub c][sup 0] = 1.276 [+-] 0.062 [+-] 0.058[sub -0.046][sup +0.066] where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the charm branching-fraction uncertainties.

MEASUREMENT OF THE BRANCHING FRACTIONS FOR INCLUSIVE B− AND {bar B}° DECAYS TO FLAVOR-TAGGED D, D{sub S} AND LAMBDA{sub C}

The authors report on the inclusive branching fractions of B− and of {bar B}° mesons decaying to D°X, {bar D}°X, DX, D−X, D{sub s}+X, D{sub s}−X,?{sub c}+X, {bar {Lambda}}{sub c}−X, based on a sample of 88.9 million B{bar B} events recorded with the BABAR detector at the?(4S) resonance. Events are selected by completely reconstructing one B and searching for a reconstructed charmed particle in the rest of the event. The authors measure the number of charmed and of anit-charmed particles per B decay and derive the total charm yield per B− decay, n{sub c}− = 1.313 ± 0.037 ± 0.037 ± 0.062{sub -0.043}{sup +0.063}, and per {bar B}° decay, n{sub c}° = 1.276 ± 0.062 ± 0.058{sub -0.046}{sup +0.066} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the charm branching-fraction uncertainties.
