Abstract

In this note, recent results of studies of semileptonic B meson decays from \babar are discussed and preliminary results given. In particular, a recent measurement of B(BD()τν)\mathcal{B}(B \to D^{(*)}\tau \nu) and the ratio B(BD()τν)/B(BD()ν)\mathcal{B}(B \to D^{(*)}\tau \nu)/\mathcal{B}(B \to D^{(*)}\ell \nu) is presented. For the DD^* mode, a branching fraction of 1.79±0.13\stat±0.17\syst1.79\pm0.13\stat\pm0.17\syst is found, with a ratio of 0.325±0.023\stat±0.027\syst0.325\pm0.023\stat\pm0.027\syst. For the DD mode, the results are 1.04±0.12\stat±0.14\syst1.04\pm0.12\stat\pm0.14\syst and 0.456±0.053\stat±0.056\syst0.456\pm0.053\stat\pm0.056\syst, respectively. In addition, a study of BsB_s production and semileptonic decays using data collected in a center-of-mass energy region above the \Y4S resonance is discussed. The semileptonic branching fraction B(BsνX)\mathcal{B}(B_s \to \ell \nu X) is measured to be 9.92.1+2.6\stat2.0+1.3\syst9.9{}^{+2.6}_{-2.1}\stat{}^{+1.3}_{-2.0}\syst.
