Experimental Update on the Exclusive Determination of |v Cb |
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk a review on the exclusive determination of |V cb | is presented. Updated values of this quantity obtained from B → Dℓ − ν ℓ and B → D * ℓ − ν ℓ decays are given. New measurements from B-factories are expected to come soon and the main challenges to improve the accuracy on |V cb | extracted from these decays are discussed.

Bound on V + A admixture in the b → c current from inclusive vs . exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons
Bound on V + A admixture in the b → c current from inclusive vs. exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons. Abstract An admixture of a right-handed b → c current in the semileptonic weak decays of the B mesons would give a significantly different contribution to the inclusive rate of the decays B → l ν X c as compared to the exclusive decay B → D * l ν at zero recoil. Thus a difference in the v...
متن کاملDetermination of |v Ub |
The element V ub of the CKM mixing matrix is the smallest of the quark couplings and is crucial in understanding CP violation in the B system. In this review, we discuss the present status of the determination of its magnitude, which involves a significant effort both experimentally and theoretically. Decisive progress has been achieved in recent years, thanks in part to the large data sets tha...
متن کاملTwo-loop QCD corrections to b-->c transitions at zero recoil.
Complete two-loop QCD corrections to b ! c transitions are presented in the limit of zero recoil. Vector and axial-vector coeecients A;V are calculated analytically in the limit of equal beauty and charm masses, and a series appoximation is obtained for the general mass case. A is crucial for the determination of the absolute value of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element V cb. The two-l...

A review of recent analyses on semileptonic decays of B mesons into charmed final states is given. |Vcb| is extracted both by the BABAR and the Belle collaboration from their datasets using inclusively and exclusively reconstructed final states. In addition there are recent results on the determination of exclusive branching fractions to the ground states D and D∗, as well as to excited D∗∗ sta...
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 |, ...
