Inclusive Semileptonic B Decays at BABAR and Extraction of HQE Parameters
A measurement of the first four moments of the hadronic mass distribution in B → Xc ν̄ decays is presented for minimum lepton momenta varying between 0.9 and 1.6 GeV, using data recorded with the BABAR detector. Furthermore, a measurement of the inclusive electron energy spectrum for semileptonic B decays together with a measurement of its first, second and third moments for minimum electron ene...
متن کاملInclusive Semileptonic B Decays at BABAR
We present measurements of the inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of charged and neutral B mesons using 20.6 fb−1 of data measured at the Υ (4S) with the BABAR detector. Events are tagged with a fully reconstructed hadronic decay of a B meson. The correlation between the flavor of the tag B meson and the electron charge allows the separation of prompt semileptonic B decays and cascade s...
متن کاملDetermination of the Ckm Matrix Element |v Cb | from Semileptonic B Decays
We report studies of semileptonic decays, B → X c ℓν, based on a sample of 88 million BB events recorded with the BABAR detector. We have measured four moments of the electron energy distribution and four moments of the hadronic mass distribution, each as a function of the minimum electron energy. From these moments we determine the inclusive branching fraction, the CKM matrix element |V cb |, ...

In the following sections, we discuss some of the key questions related to semileptonic decays of B mesons: the inclusive semileptonic branching fraction, the determination of jV cb j and jV ub j from inclusive and exclusive measurements, recent progress in exclusive semileptonic decays, and form factor measurements and tests of heavy-quark eeective theory. We emphasize the uncertainties that a...
