Measurement of the branching fraction ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to D^{*+}\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell)$ with early Belle II data.
2020
We measure the branching fractions for the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*+} e^{-} \bar{\nu}_e$ and $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*+} \mu^{-} \bar{\nu}_\mu$ using $8.70 \pm 0.09~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. Candidate signal decays are reconstructed with the subsequent decays $D^{*+}\to D^0 \pi^+$ and $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$. We obtain the results ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*+} e^{-} \bar{\nu}_e)$ = $(4.55\pm0.14(\mathrm{stat})\pm0.35 (\mathrm{sys})) \%$ and ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0 \to D^{*+} \mu^{-} \bar{\nu}_\mu)$ = $(4.84\pm 0.13(\mathrm{stat})\pm0.37(\mathrm{sys})) \%$, in agreement with the world average. The measurement serves to validate the full chain of detector operation and calibration, data collection and processing, and production of physics results in the case of semileptonic $B$-meson decays.
