摘要：

我们给出了半轻子衰变B-> D 0 τ- nubar_tau，B-> D*0 τ- nubar_tau，B 0 bar--> D+ τ- nubar_tau和B 0 bar--> D*+ τ- nubar_tau的测量结果，这些衰变在某些情况下对非标准模型振幅敏感。数据样本由PEP-II e+e对撞机上BaBar探测器收集的232 × 10^6 Upplane（4S）-> BBbar衰变组成。我们选择事件与D或D* 介子和轻轻子（ell=e或mu）反冲对一个完全重建的B介子。我们对轻子动量和丢失质量平方的联合分布进行拟合，以区分信号B --> D（*）tau- nubar_tau（tau-> ell-nubar_ellnu_tau）事件和背景，主要是B --> D（*）ell-nubar_ell。我们测量了分支分数比R（D）= BR（B --> D tau- nubar_tau）/ BR（B --> D ell- nubar_ell）和R（D*）== BR（B --> D* tau- nubar_tau）/ BR（B --> D* ell- nubar_ell），并且，根据对B-和B 0 bar通道的组合拟合，获得结果R（D）=（41.6 +/- 11.7 +/- 5.2）%和R（D*）=（29.7 +/- 5.6 +/- 1.8）%，其中不确定度为统计和系统不确定度。归一化到测量的B-> D（*）0 ell-nubar_ell支化分数，我们得到BR（B --> D τ- nubar_τ）=（0.86 +/- 0.24 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.06）%和BR（B --> D* tau- nubar_tau）=（1.62 +/- 0.31 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.05）%，其中附加的第三不确定度来自归一化模式。我们还首次给出了轻子动量p*_ell和平方动量转移q ^2的分布。

英文摘要：

We present measurements of the semileptonic decays B- --> D0 tau- nubar_tau, B- --> D*0 tau- nubar_tau, B0bar --> D+ tau- nubar_tau, and B0bar --> D*+ tau- nubar_tau, which are sensitive to non--Standard Model amplitudes in certain scenarios. The data sample consists of 232x10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider. We select events with a D or D* meson and a light lepton (ell=e or mu) recoiling against a fully reconstructed B meson. We perform a fit to the joint distribution of lepton momentum and missing mass squared to distinguish signal B --> D(*) tau- nubar_tau (tau- --> ell- nubar_ell nu_tau) events from the backgrounds, predominantly B --> D(*) ell- nubar_ell. We measure the branching-fraction ratios R(D) == BR(B --> D tau- nubar_tau) / BR(B --> D ell- nubar_ell) and R(D*) == BR(B --> D* tau- nubar_tau) / BR(B --> D* ell- nubar_ell) and, from a combined fit to B- and B0bar channels, obtain the results R(D)=(41.6 +/- 11.7 +/- 5.2)% and R(D*)=(29.7 +/- 5.6 +/- 1.8)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic. Normalizing to measured B- --> D(*)0 ell- nubar_ell branching fractions, we obtain BR(B --> D tau- nubar_tau)=(0.86 +/- 0.24 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.06)% and BR(B --> D* tau- nubar_tau)=(1.62 +/- 0.31 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.05)%, where the additional third uncertainty is from the normalization mode. We also present, for the first time, distributions of the lepton momentum, p*_ell, and the squared momentum transfer, q^2.
