Abstract

In 450 000 hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the yields of Ds -ℓ+ and Λc +ℓ- combinations have been measured. 16.0 ± 4.3 Ds -ℓ+ combinations were observed in the Ds - → ππ- channel and 17.0 ± 4.5 combinations were observed in the Ds - → K*0K- channel. 21.0 ± 5.0 Λc +ℓ- combinations were observed, with the Λc + reconstructed in the decay mode Λc + → pK-π+. These events provide evidence for the decays Bs → Ds -Xℓ+ν and Λb → Λc +Xℓ-ν. Assuming that the Bs and Λb semileptonic decays are dominantly three-body, these observed yields, after background subtraction, translate into the following product branching ratios: Br(b → Bs)Br(Bs → Ds -Xℓ+ν) = 0.040±0.011 -0.012 +0.010, Br(b → Λb)Br(Λb → Λc +Xℓ-ν) = 0.030±0.007±0.009.
