Abstract
Using the entire ϒ(4S) dataset, the first two-dimensional unbinned angular analysis of the semileptonic decay B¯→Dℓ−ν¯ℓ is performed, employing hadronic reconstruction of the tag-side B meson from ϒ(4S)→BB¯ . Here, ℓ denotes the light charged leptons e and μ . A novel data-driven signal-background separation procedure with minimal dependence on simulation is developed. This procedure preserves all multidimensional correlations present in the data. The expected sin2θℓ dependence of the differential decay rate in the Standard Model is demonstrated, where θℓ is the lepton helicity angle. Including input from the latest lattice QCD calculations and previously available experimental data, the underlying form factors are extracted using both model-independent (BGL) and dependent (CLN) methods. Comparisons with lattice calculations show flavor SU(3) symmetry to be a good approximation in the B(s)→D(s) sector. Using the BGL results, the CKM matrix element |Vcb|=(41.09±1.16)×10−3 and the Standard Model prediction of the lepton-flavor universality violation variable R(D)=0.300±0.004 , are extracted. The value of |Vcb| from B¯→Dℓ−ν¯ℓ tends to be higher than that extracted using B¯→D*ℓ−ν¯ℓ . The Standard Model R(D) calculation is at a 1.97σ tension with the latest HFLAV experimental average.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
