Abstract
We present a measurement of the branching fraction based on a sample of 467 million pairs recorded by the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II collider. We observe signal decays, corresponding to a branching fraction of , where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The dependence of the decay rate on , the invariant mass squared of the leptons, is compared to QCD predictions of the form factors based on a quark model and light-cone sum rules.
