Abstract: (arXiv)
We have searched for the decay B+ωl+νB^+\to\omega l^+\nu (l=el=e or μ\mu) in 78 fb1^{-1} of Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) data (85 million BBˉB\bar B events) accumulated with the Belle detector. The final state is fully reconstructed using the ω\omega decay into π+ππ0\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0, combined with detector hermeticity to estimate the neutrino momentum. A signal of 414±125414\pm 125 events is found in the data, corresponding to a branching fraction of (1.3±0.4±0.2±0.3)×104(1.3\pm 0.4\pm 0.2\pm 0.3)\times 10^{-4}, where the first two errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. The third error reflects the estimated form-factor uncertainty.
