Abstract: (APS)
Semileptonic B meson decays into the four lightest excited charmed meson states (D0*, D1*, D1, and D2*) and their counterparts with s quarks are investigated, including the full lepton mass dependence. We derive the standard model predictions for the differential branching fractions, as well as predictions for the ratios of the semitauonic and light-lepton semileptonic branching fractions. These can be systematically improved using future measurements of the total or differential semileptonic rates to e and μ, as well as the two-body hadronic branching fractions with a pion, related by factorization to the semileptonic rate at maximal recoil. To illustrate the different sensitivities to new physics, we explore the dependence of the ratio of semitauonic and light-lepton branching fractions to possible four-fermion scalar interactions.
