Measurements of |Vcb|, form factors and branching fractions in the decays B̄0 → D*+ ℓ- v̄ℓ and B̄0 → D+ ℓ- v̄ℓ
Two samples of exclusive semileptonic decays, 579 B̄0 → D*+ℓ-v̄ℓ events and 261 B̄0 → D+ℓ-v̄ℓ events, are selected from approximately 3.9 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP. From the reconstructed differential decay rate of each sample, the product of the hadronic form...
