Search For New Physics at the BABAR Experiment
ORAL
Abstract
Using a full BABAR data sample of 426/fb, we present measurements of R(D) and R(D*) where R(D) $=$ BR(D tau nu)/BR(D lepton nu) and R(D*) $=$ BR(D* tau nu)/BR(D* lepton nu). The lepton is either electron or muon. These ratios of R(D) and R(D*) exceed the Standard Model predictions by 2.0 sigma and 2.7 sigma, respectively. The combined results disagree with the Standard Model prediction at the level of 3.4 sigma. These ratios are sensitive to New Physics (NP) contributions in the form of a charged Higgs Boson.
