We report a measurement of the branching fractions for Bbar -> D(*)(pi)l-nubar decays based on 341.1 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the babar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings. Events are tagged by fully reconstructing one of the B mesons in a hadronic decay mode. We obtain B(B- -> D0l-nubar) = (2.33 +/- 0.09(stat.) +/- 0.09(syst.))%, B(B- -> D*0l-nubar) = (5.83 +/- 0.15(stat.) +/- 0.30(syst.))%, B(B0bar -> D+l-nubar) = (2.21 +/- 0.11(stat.) +/- 0.12(syst.))%, B(B0bar -> D*+l-nubar) = (5.49 +/- 0.16(stat.) +/- 0.25(syst.))%, B(B- -> D+pi-l-nubar) = (0.42 +/- 0.06(stat.) +/- 0.03(syst.))%, B(B- -> D*+pi-l-nubar) = (0.59 +/- 0.05(stat.) +/- 0.04(syst.))%, B(B0bar -> D0pi+l-nubar) = (0.43 +/- 0.08(stat.) +/- 0.03(syst.))%, and B(B0bar -> D*0pi+l-nubar) = (0.48 +/- 0.08(stat.) +/- 0.04(syst.))%.

  1. $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar \nu$ Branching Ratios and Evidence for Isospin Breaking in $\Upsilon(4S)$ Decays

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A combined fit to B to D(*) l nu data yields R^{±0}=1.062(19) as evidence for isospin violation in Υ(4S) decays and branching fractions up to 1.6σ larger than prior averages, addressing inconsistencies in V_cb extractions.

  2. Closing the knowledge gap in semileptonic $B\rightarrow X_c\ell\nu$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The unmeasured fraction of inclusive semileptonic B to charm decays is dominated by final states without D mesons, likely from baryons and Ds mesons.
