Abstract

We present a measurement of the branching fraction of 𝐵+ →𝜏+⁢𝜈𝜏 decays using 387±6×106 ϒ⁡(4⁢𝑆) collected between 2019 and 2022 with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB 𝑒+⁢𝑒− collider. We reconstruct the accompanying 𝐵− meson using the hadronic tagging method, while 𝐵+ →𝜏+⁢𝜈𝜏 candidates are identified in the recoil. We find evidence for 𝐵+ →𝜏+⁢𝜈𝜏 decays at 3.0 standard deviations, including systematic uncertainties. The measured branching fraction is ℬ⁡(𝐵+→𝜏+⁢𝜈𝜏)=[1.24±0.41⁢(stat)±0.19⁢(syst)]× 10−4.
