Using a sample of 88.8×10^6 BB̅ events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we measure the branching fractions of seven color-suppressed B-meson decays: B(B0→D0π0)=[2.9±0.2(stat)±0.3(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D*0π0)=[2.9±0.4(stat)±0.5(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D0η)=[2.5±0.2(stat)±0.3(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D*0η)=[2.6±0.4(stat)±0.4(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D0ω)=[3.0±0.3(stat)±0.4(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D*0ω)=[4.2±0.7(stat)±0.9(syst)]×10-4, and B(B0→D0η′)=[1.7±0.4(stat)±0.2(syst)]×10-4. We set the 90% confidence-level upper limit: B(B0→D*0η′)<2.6×10-4. The channels B0→D*0η, D*0ω, and D0η′ are seen with more than five-sigma statistical significance. All of these branching fractions are significantly larger than theoretical expectations based on the “naive” factorization model.

Abstract
Using a sample of 88.8×10^6 BB̅ events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we measure the branching fractions of seven color-suppressed B-meson decays: B(B0→D0π0)=[2.9±0.2(stat)±0.3(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D*0π0)=[2.9±0.4(stat)±0.5(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D0η)=[2.5±0.2(stat)±0.3(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D*0η)=[2.6±0.4(stat)±0.4(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D0ω)=[3.0±0.3(stat)±0.4(syst)]×10-4, B(B0→D*0ω)=[4.2±0.7(stat)±0.9(syst)]×10-4, and B(B0→D0η′)=[1.7±0.4(stat)±0.2(syst)]×10-4. We set the 90% confidence-level upper limit: B(B0→D*0η′)<2.6×10-4. The channels B0→D*0η, D*0ω, and D0η′ are seen with more than five-sigma statistical significance. All of these branching fractions are significantly larger than theoretical expectations based on the “naive” factorization model.Pubblicazioni consigliate
