Je. Duboscq et al., MEASUREMENT OF THE FORM-FACTORS FOR (B)OVER-BAR(0)-]D-ASTERISK(-)(NU)OVER-BAR()L(), Physical review letters, 76(21), 1996, pp. 3898-3902
Using a sample of 2.6 x 10(6) Upsilon(4S) --> B (B) over bar events co
llected with the CLE (O) over right arrow II detector at the Cornell E
lectron Storage Ring, we have measured the form factors for (B) over b
ar(0) --> D(+)l(-)<(nu)over bar>. We perform a three-parameter fit wi
th the joint distribution of four kinematic variables to obtain the fo
rm-factor ratios R(1) = 1.18 +/- 0.30 +/- 0.12 and R(2) = 0.71 +/- 0.2
2 +/- 0.07, and the form-factor slope rho(A1)(2) = 0.91 +/- 0.15 +/- 0
.06, which is closely related to the slope of the Isgur-Wise function.
The form-factor ratios are consistent with predicted corrections to t
he heavy-quark symmetry limit R(1) = R(2) = 1.
