Abstract
We report a measurement of the ratio R(D?)=B(B0?D?+?-??)/B(B0?D?+?), where denotes an electron or a muon. The results are based on a data sample containing 772�106 BB pairs recorded at the (4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We select a sample of B0B0 pairs by reconstructing both B mesons in semileptonic decays to D? �. We measure R(D?)=0.302�0.030(stat)�0.011(syst), which is within 1.6? of the Standard Model theoretical expectation, where the standard deviation ? includes systematic uncertainties. We use this measurement to constrain several scenarios of new physics in a model-independent approach. � 2016 American Physical Society.
