  2. Why are semileptonic decays interesting? q² • single form factor fD(q2) • calcuable in LQCD, but • needs checking from data • D-System ideal for experimental input • results can be applied in B-physics (extraction of CKM parameters)

  19. Measurement of Semileptonic Background (for pln)* • procedure to measure background: • 1. crosstalk from Kln: • prepare special background sample, with K intentionally misidentified as p • normalize to standard Kln sample • then reweight the sample using known** efficiencies / fake rates (in p,) • 2. background from vector mesons: • get shapes for K*ln and rlnfrom MC (simulated ratio K*/r from PDG) • normalize to data in region m²n > 0.3 GeV² recoil neutrino mass control region for K*/r bkg measurement D0 pln signal region data non-D° bkg (measured as described previously) * background for Kln is very small, and is handled the same way ** measured independently in data measured bkg from Kln measured bkg from K*ln measured bkg from rln

  20. Measurement of Hadronic Background (for pmn)* • procedure to measure background: • prepare special background samples, with K(p) intentionally misidentifiedas m(subtract fake D0 background in these samples with the method described above) • separate into same sign (SS) and opposite sign (OS) samples, with respect to the charges of the lepton and the slow pion • semileptonic channels are highly suppressed in OS  clean sample of hadronic background • perform a 2-parameter fit in the standard OS sample, using the shapes from the OS background samples for K and p, to measure the effective fake rates • then apply these fake rates in the background SS sample to obtain the backgrounds in the signal sample same sign SS signal: D*  D0p+  p-m+n SS both signs D*  D0p+  p-p+p0/K0 p-m± n opposite sign OS D*  D0p+  K-p+p0 p+m-n SS OS OS D*  D0p+  K-p+p0/K0 p-m+ n * significant background only for this channel; other channels are handled likewise
