Measurement of the Decay B- --> D*0 e- nubar
read the original abstract
Using 226 million BBbar events recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC e+e- PEPII storage rings, we reconstruct B- -> D*0 e- nubar decays using the decay chain D*0 -> D0 pi0 and D0 -> K pi. From the dependence of their differential rate on w, the dot product of the four-velocities of B and D*0, and using the form factor description by Caprini et al. with the parameters F(1) and rho_A1^2, we obtain the results rho_A1^2 = 1.16 +- 0.06 +- 0.08, F(1)|V_cb| = (35.9 +- 0.6 +- 1.4) 10^-3, and BF(B- -> D*0 e- nubar) = (5.56 +- 0.08 +- 0.41)%.

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

Closing the knowledge gap in semileptonic $B\rightarrow X_c\ell\nu$ decays
The unmeasured fraction of inclusive semileptonic B to charm decays is dominated by final states without D mesons, likely from baryons and Ds mesons.
