Abstract

Using the data accumulated in 2002-2004 with the D0 detector in proton-antiproton collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider with a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, the branching fractions of the decays B→D‾ 10(2420)μ+νμX and B→D‾ 2*0(2460)μ+νμX and their ratio have been measured: B(b‾→B)×B(B→D‾10μ+νμ X)×B(D‾ 10→D*+)=[0.087± 0.007(stat)± 0.014(syst)]%;B(b‾→B)×B(B→D‾2*0μ+νμX)×B(D‾2*0→D*-π+)=[0.035±0.007(stat)± 0.008(syst)]% and [B(B→D‾2*0μ+→μ X)×B(D‾2*0→D*-π+)]/[B(B→D‾ 10μ+νμX)×B(D‾10 →D*-π+)]=0.39± 0.09(stat)± 0.12(syst), where the charge conjugated states are always implied.
