We search for these B decays in a sample of B+B- events where one B- meson is reconstructed as B- -> D(0)l(-)(nu) over barX. Using the method of Feldman and Cousins, we obtain B(B+ -> tau(+)nu(tau)) = (1.7 +/- 0.8 +/- 0.2) x 10(-4), which excludes zero at 2.3 sigma. We interpret the central value in the context of the standard model and find the B meson decay constant to be f(B)(2) = (62 +/- 31) x 10(3) MeV2. We find no evidence for B+ -> e(+)nu(e) and B+ -> mu(+)nu(mu) and set upper limits at the 90{\%} C. L. B(B+ -> e(+)nu(e)) < 0.8 x 10(-5) and B(B+ -> mu(+)nu(mu)) < 1.1 x 10(-5).", optnote="ISI:000276194200001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=470), last updated on Tue, 22 Mar 2011 14:29:23 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.81.051101", opturl="http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/0912.2453", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.81.051101", language="English" }
