    No full text
    Abstract The Belle II experiment’s ability to identify particles critically affects the sensitivity of its measurements. We describe Belle II’s algorithms for identifying charged particles and evaluate their performance in separating pions, kaons, and protons using 426fb1426\,\text {fb}^{-1} 426 fb - 1 of data collected at the energy-asymmetric {\varvec{e}}^+{\varvec{e}}^- e + e - collider SuperKEKB in 2019–2022 at center-of-mass energies at and near the mass of the Υ\Upsilon Υ (4S)

    Measurement of Lepton Mass Squared Moments in BXcνˉB \to X_c \ell \bar \nu_{\ell} Decays with the Belle II Experiment

    No full text
    We present measurements of the first to fourth moments of the lepton mass squared q2q^2 of \mbox{BXcνˉB \to X_c \, \ell\, \bar \nu_{\ell}} decays for =e,μ\ell = e, \mu and with XcX_c a hadronic system containing a charm quark. These results use a sample of electron-positron collisions at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance corresponding to 62.8fb162.8 \, \mathrm{fb}^{-1} of integrated luminosity and collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019 and 2020. To identify the XcX_c system and reconstruct q2q^2, one of the BB mesons from an Υ(4S)BB\Upsilon(4S) \to B \kern 0.18em\overline{\kern -0.18em B} decay is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode using a multivariate BB tagging algorithm. We report raw and central moments for q2>1.5  GeV2/c4 q^2 > 1.5 \; \mathrm{GeV^2/c^4} up to q2>8.5  GeV2/c4q^2 > 8.5 \; \mathrm{GeV^2/c^4}, probing up to 77% of the accessible \mbox{BXcνˉB \to X_c \, \ell\, \bar \nu_{\ell}} phase space. This is the first measurement of moments in the experimentally challenging range of [1.5,2.5]GeV2/c4[ 1.5, 2.5 ] \, \mathrm{GeV^2/c^4}

    Search for an Invisibly Decaying Z′ Boson at Belle II in e+e- →μ+μ- (e±μ) Plus Missing Energy Final States

    No full text
    Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the Z′. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a Z′ in the process e+e-→μ+μ-Z′ and of a lepton-flavor-violating Z′ in e+e-→e±μZ′. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an Lμ-Lτ theory, into upper limits on the Z′ coupling constant at the level of 5×10-2-1 for MZ′≤6 GeV/c2
