Exclusive semileptonic B decays to radially excited D mesons
Abstract
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to radially excited charmed mesons are investigated at the first order of the heavy quark expansion. The arising leading and subleading Isgur-Wise functions are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. It is found that the 1/mQ corrections play an important role and substantially modify results. An interesting interplay between different corrections is found. As a result the branching ratio for the B-> D'e decay is essentially increased by 1/mQ corrections, while the one for B-> D*'e is only slightly influenced by them.
