Abstract

A preliminary analysis of exclusive \btou\btou decays to the final states π±ν\pi^\pm\ell\nu, π0ν\pi^0\ell\nu, ρ±ν\rho^\pm\ell\nu, ρ0ν\rho^0\ell\nu\ and ων\omega\ell\nu based on 2.2\e62.2\e{6} \bbar\bbar decays collected at CLEO is presented. We have measured the first exclusive \btou\btou branching fraction \bbpi=[1.19±0.41±0.21±0.19]\e4\bbpi=[1.19\pm0.41\pm0.21\pm0.19]\e{-4} ([1.70±0.51±0.31±0.27]\e4[1.70\pm0.51\pm0.31\pm0.27]\e{-4}), with the ISGW (WSB) model used for efficiency determination. A 90\% C.L. upper limit on \bbrho\bbrho similar to the previous CLEO limit is obtained. The ratio \gamrho/\gampi<3.4\gamrho/\gampi<3.4 at the 90\% confidence level for both the ISGW and WSB models. This ratio provides some discrimination between form factor models.
