Evidence for B- -> Ds+ K- l- nubar and search for B- -> Ds*+ K- l- nubar

We report measurements of the decays B- -> Ds(*)+ K- l- nubar in a data sample containing 657x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We observe a signal with a significance of 6 sigma for the combined Ds and Ds* modes and find the first evidence of the B- -> Ds+ K- l- nubar decay with a significance of 3.4 sigma. We measure the following branching fractions: BF(B- -> Ds+ K- l nubar) = (0.30 +/- 0.09(stat) +0.11 -0.08(syst)) x 10^-3 and BF(B- -> Ds*+ K- l- nubar) = (0.59 +/- 0.12(stat) +/- 0.15(syst)) x 10^-3 and set an upper limit BF(B- -> Ds*+ K- l- nubar) < 0.56 x 10^-3 at the 90% confidence level. We also present the first measurement of the Ds+K- invariant mass distribution in these decays, which is dominated by a prominent peak around 2.6 GeV/c^2.

Observation of B^0 \to D^{*-} τ^+ ν_τ decay at Belle

We report an observation of the decay $B^0\to D^{*-} τ^+ ν_τ$ in a data sample containing $535\times10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We find a signal with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations and measure the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(B^0\to D^{*-} τ^+ ν_τ)=(2.02 ^{+0.40}_{-0.37} (stat) \pm 0.37 (syst)) % $. This is the first observation of an exclusive $B$ decay with a $b \to c τν_τ$ transition.
