Abstract

The branching fractions of the decays B+→ηℓ+νℓ and B+→η′ℓ+νℓ are measured, where ℓ is either an electron or a muon, using a data sample of 711 fb−1 containing 772×106BB¯ pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. To reduce the dependence of the result on the form factor model, the measurement is performed over the entire q2 range. The resulting branching fractions are B(B+→ηℓ+νℓ)=(2.83±0.55(stat.)±0.34(syst.))×10−5 and B(B+→η′ℓ+νℓ)=(2.79±1.29(stat.)±0.30(syst.))×10−5.Received 28 April 2021Accepted 4 August 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.106.032013Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
