Abstract

We measure the branching fraction of B^-→τ ^-ν_̄τ using the full Υ(4S) data sample containing 772×106 BB̄ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e⁺e^- collider. Events with BB̄ pairs are tagged by reconstructing one of the B mesons decaying into hadronic final states, and B^-→τ ^-ν_̄τ candidates are detected in the recoil. We find evidence for B^-→τ ^-ν_̄τ with a significance of 3.0 standard deviations including systematic errors and measure a branching fraction B(B ^-→τ^-ν_̄τ)=[0.72-0.25+0. 27(stat)±0.11(syst)]×10^-4.
