We present a measurement of the branching fraction of B⁺→ τ⁺ν_τ decays using (387 ± 6) × 10⁶ ϒ(4S) events collected between 2019 and 2022 with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB e⁺e⁻ collider. We reconstruct the accompanying B⁻ meson using the hadronic tagging method, while B⁺→ τ⁺ν_τ candidates are identified in the recoil. We find evidence for B⁺→ τ⁺ν_τ decays at 3.0 standard deviations, including systematic uncertainties. The measured branching fraction is ℬ(B⁺ → τ⁺ν_τ) = [1.24 ± 0.41 (stat) ± 0.19 (syst)] × 10⁻⁴.

Abstract

We present a measurement of the branching fraction of B⁺→ τ⁺ν_τ decays using (387 ± 6) × 10⁶ ϒ(4S) events collected between 2019 and 2022 with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB e⁺e⁻ collider. We reconstruct the accompanying B⁻ meson using the hadronic tagging method, while B⁺→ τ⁺ν_τ candidates are identified in the recoil. We find evidence for B⁺→ τ⁺ν_τ decays at 3.0 standard deviations, including systematic uncertainties. The measured branching fraction is ℬ(B⁺ → τ⁺ν_τ) = [1.24 ± 0.41 (stat) ± 0.19 (syst)] × 10⁻⁴.
