b --> s gamma using a Sum of Exclusive Modes | | The BABAR Collaboration

Signal event yields are found from a combination of twelve exclusive decay channels after subtracting continuum and BBbar backgrounds. Cross-feed from incorrectly reconstructed b --> s gamma events is also removed. Branching fractions in bins of hadronic mass are calculated using corrected Monte Carlo signal efficiencies; this is equivalent to measuring the gamma energy spectrum. We measure the first moment of the gamma energy spectrum constraining the HQET parameter LambdaBar = (0.37 +/- 0.09 (stat) +/- 0.07 (syst) +/- 0.10 (model)) GeV/c^2. A fit to the hadronic mass spectrum gives B(b --> s gamma) = (4.3 +/- 0.5 (stat) +/- 0.8 (syst) +/- 1.3 (model))x 10^-4 for the inclusive branching fraction. We also constrain the HQET parameter lambda_1. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-ex/0207074 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
