Abstract

We present a measurement of the decay B^-→τ ^-ν̄τ using a data sample containing 657×106 BB̄ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e⁺e^- collider. A sample of B⁺B^- pairs are tagged by reconstructing one B⁺ meson decaying semileptonically. We detect the B^-→τ ^-ν̄τ candidate in the recoil. We obtain a signal with a significance of 3.6 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties, and measure the branching fraction to be B(B^-→τ ^-ν̄τ)=[1.54-0.37+0.38(stat)-0.31+0.29(syst)] ×10^-4. This result confirms the evidence for B ^-→τ^-ν̄τ obtained in a previous Belle measurement that used a hadronic B tagging method.
