We report on measurements of the decays of Bbar mesons into the semileptonic final states Bbar-->D(*)pi+pi-l-nubar, where D(*) represents a D or D* meson and l- is an electron or a muon.

Based on these results and assuming isospin invariance, we estimate that Bbar-->D(*)pipil-nubar decays, where pi denotes either a pi± and pi€0 meson, account for up to half the difference between the measured inclusive semileptonic branching fraction to charm hadrons and the corresponding sum of previously measured exclusive branching fractions.

Abstract

We report on measurements of the decays of Bbar mesons into the semileptonic final states Bbar-->D(*)pi+pi-l-nubar, where D(*) represents a D or D* meson and l- is an electron or a muon. These measurements are based on 471x10^6 BBbar pairs recorded with the BABAR detector at the SLAC asymmetric B factory PEP-II. We determine the branching fraction ratios R_pi+pi-(*—)=B(Bbar-->D(*)pi+pi-l-nubar)/B(Bbar-->D(*)l-nubar) using events in which the second B meson is fully reconstructed. We find Rpi+pi-=0.067±0.010±0.008 and Rpi+pi-—=0.019±0.005±0.004, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Based on these results and assuming isospin invariance, we estimate that Bbar-->D(*)pipil-nubar decays, where pi denotes either a pi± and pi€0 meson, account for up to half the difference between the measured inclusive semileptonic branching fraction to charm hadrons and the corresponding sum of previously measured exclusive branching fractions.
