    Simulation of an all-layer monolithic pixel vertex detector for the Belle II upgrade

    No full text
    The Belle II experiment is evaluating an upgrade program aiming at the time frame 2026–2027 for the installation of the upgraded detectors, to improve the detector performance and robustness against beam-induced backgrounds. The VTX concept, a fully-pixelated system based on depleted monolithic active pixel sensors, has been developed as a replacement of the current pixel-and-strip vertex detector. A simulation framework for the VTX has been developed and integrated with the standard Belle II simulation, facilitating the comparison among different layouts. Simulation results (such as tracking efficiency and vertex resolution) on benchmark physics channels are presented, showing a significant improvement with respect to the current detector

    Role of ρω\rho-\omega interference in semileptonic Bπ+πνˉB \to \pi^+ \pi^- \ell \bar \nu_\ell decays

    It is long known that interference effects play an important role in understanding the shape of the π+π\pi^+\pi^- spectrum of resonances near the threshold. In this manuscript we investigate the role of the ρω\rho-\omega interference in the study of semileptonic Bπ+πνˉB \to \pi^+ \pi^- \ell \bar \nu_\ell decays. We determine for the first time the strong phase between Bρ0νˉB \to \rho^0 \ell \bar \nu_\ell and BωνˉB \to \omega \ell \bar \nu_\ell from a recent Belle measurement of the mππm_{\pi\pi} spectrum of Bπ+πνˉB \to \pi^+ \pi^- \ell \bar \nu_\ell. We find \phi_{\rho-\omega} = \left( -46_{-67}^{+155} \right)\unicode{xb0} and extract the branching fraction of B(Bρ0νˉ)=(1.410.38+0.49)×104\mathcal{B}(B \to \rho^0 \ell \bar \nu_\ell) = \left(1.41_{-0.38}^{+0.49} \right) \times 10^{-4} . In addition, we set a limit on the SS-wave component within a mass window ranging from 2mπ2 m_\pi to 1.02GeV1.02 \, \mathrm{GeV} of 0.51×104at90%CL 0.51 \times 10^{-4} \,\, \mathrm{at} \, \, 90\% \, \mathrm{CL} . We also determine the absolute value of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element of Vubρω=(3.030.44+0.49)×103|V_{ub}|_{\rho-\omega} = \left( 3.03^{+0.49}_{-0.44} \right) \times 10^{-3}, which takes into account the ρω\rho-\omega interference.Comment: 13 pages, 16 figure

    The Full Event Interpretation - An exclusive tagging algorithm for the Belle II experiment

    No full text
    The full event interpretation is presented: a new exclusive tagging algorithm used by the high-energy physics experiment Belle II. The experimental setup of Belle II allows the precise measurement of otherwise inaccessible B meson decay modes. The Full Event Interpretation algorithm enables many of these measurements. The algorithm relies on machine learning to automatically identify plausible B meson decay chains based on the data recorded by the detector. Compared to similar algorithms employed by previous experiments, the Full Event Interpretation provides a greater efficiency, yielding a larger effective sample size usable in the measurement
