Abstract: (Elsevier)
The branching fractions and the decay amplitudes of B→J/ψK ∗ decays are measured in a 29.4 fb −1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron–positron collider. The decay amplitudes of helicity states of the J/ψK ∗ system are determined from the full angular distribution of the final state particles in the transversity basis. The branching fractions are measured to be (1.29±0.05±0.13)×10 −3 for neutral mesons and (1.28±0.07±0.14)×10 −3 for charged mesons. The measured longitudinal and transverse (perpendicular to the transversity plane) amplitudes are | A 0 | 2 =0.62±0.02±0.03 and | A ⊥ | 2 =0.19±0.02±0.03, respectively. The value of | A ⊥ | 2 shows that the CP even component dominates in the B 0 →J/ψK ∗0 (K S π 0 ) decay.
