Abstract: (arXiv)
We present a determination of the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element VcbV_{cb} using BDνB\to D\ell\nu decays. The result is based on e+eΥ(4S)e^+e^-\to\Upsilon(4S) data recorded by the Belle II detector corresponding to 189.2/fb of integrated luminosity. The semileptonic decays B0D(K+ππ)+νB^0\to D^-(\to K^+\pi^-\pi^-)\ell^+\nu_\ell and B+Dˉ0(K+π)+νB^+\to\bar D^0(\to K^+\pi^-)\ell^+\nu_\ell are reconstructed, where \ell is either electron or a muon. The second BB meson in the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) event is not explicitly reconstructed. Using the diamond-frame method, we determine the BB meson four-momentum and thus the hadronic recoil. We extract the partial decay rates as functions of ww and perform a fit to the decay form-factor and the CKM parameter Vcb|V_{cb}| using the BGL parameterization of the form factor and lattice QCD input from the FNAL/MILC and HPQCD collaborations. We obtain ηEWVcb=(38.53±1.15)×103\eta_{EW}|V_{cb}|=(38.53\pm 1.15)\times 10^{-3}, where ηEW\eta_{EW} is an electroweak correction, and the error accounts for theoretical and experimental sources of uncertainty.
