Measurement of Inclusive Radiative B-meson Decays with a Photon Energy Threshold of 1.7 GeV
Abstract
Using 605/fb of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance we present a measurement of the inclusive radiative B-meson decay channel, B to Xs gamma. For the lower photon energy thresholds of 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0GeV, as defined in the rest frame of the B-meson, we measure the partial branching fraction and the mean and variance of the photon energy spectrum. At the 1.7GeV threshold we obtain the partial branching fraction BF(B to Xs gamma) = (3.45 +/- 0.15 +/- 0.40) x 10-4, where the errors are statistical and systematic.
