Abstract:
We study semileptonic decays B±η()lνB^\pm \to \eta^{(\prime)} l \nu, which are suggested to be used to extract the hadronic form factors of BB meson decays to η(η)\eta(\eta^{\prime}) and the angle of ηη\eta-\eta^{\prime} mixing. This would be of great benefit to theoretical studies of BB nonleptonic decays involving η\eta and η\eta^{\prime}, and could lead to a reliable and complementary determination of VubV_{ub}. The branching ratios are estimated to be B(B±η()lν)=4.32±0.83(2.10±0.40)×105{\cal B}(B^\pm \to\eta^{(\prime)} l \nu)=4.32 \pm 0.83 (2.10 \pm 0.40) \times 10^{-5}, which could be extensively studied experimentally at BaBarBaBar and Belle.
