Measurement of the Branching FractionB(Bu+J/+)and Search forBc+J/uri icon

abstract

  • We report on a measurement of the branching fraction of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay B+uJ/+, where J/J/+-. The data were collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 19921995 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 110pb-1 in pp collisions at s=1.8TeV. A signal of 28+10-9 events is observed and we determine the ratio of branching fractions B(B+uJ/+)/B(B+uJ/K+) to be [5.0+1.9-1.7(stat)0.1(syst)]%. Using the world average value for B(B+uJ/+), we calculate the branching fraction B(B+uJ/+) to be (5.0+2.1-1.9)10-5. We also search for the decay B+cJ/+ and report a 95% confidence level limit on (B+c)B+cJ/+/(B+u)B(B+uJ/K+) as a function of the B+c lifetime. 1996 The American Physical Society.
