from the Hadronic Mass Spectrum of Inclusive B decays

چکیده
Following a strategy introduced earlier by the authors, we show that it is possible to extract |Vub| from the cut hadronic mass spectrum of B decays without large systematic errors which usually arise from having to model the Fermi motion of the heavy quark. We present a closed form expression for |Vub|/|Vts| which is accurate up to corrections of order α 2 s, αsρ, (Λ/mb) 2/ρ, where ρ is the experimental cut (sc/m 2 b) on the hadronic mass used to veto charmed decays. Modulo duality violation errors, which are intrinsic to all inclusive predictions, we estimate the theoretical error in the extraction to be at the 5% level.

Analysis of hadronic invariant mass spectrum in inclusive charmless semileptonic B decays
We make an analysis of the hadronic invariant mass spectrum in inclusive charmless semileptonic B meson decays in a QCD-based approach. The decay width is studied as a function of the invariant mass cut. We examine their sensitivities to the parameters of the theory. The theoretical uncertainties in the determination of |Vub| from the hadronic invariant mass spectrum are investigated. A strateg...
متن کاملQCD-Factorization of inclusive B decays and |Vub | ∗
Recent progress in the theoretical description of inclusive B → Xu l − ν̄ decays in the shape-function region is reported. Finite moments of the shape function are related to HQET parameters. Event fractions for several experimental cuts are presented, with a particular emphasis on the hadronic variable P+ = EH − |~ PH |. The aim of this talk is to introduce the P+ spectrum, to compare it to the...
متن کاملB Meson Decays: Recent Results from Cleo
The CLEO Collaboration has extracted improved values of |Vcb| and |Vub| from measurements of exclusive and inclusive decays of B mesons. The measurement of B → D l ν at zero recoil combined with the predicted form factor FD∗(wmin) yields |Vcb|. The photon energy spectrum in b → s γ and the hadronic recoil mass spectrum in B → Xc l ν determine non-perturbative HQET parameters used with inclusive...
متن کاملOn the Resummed Hadronic Spectra of Inclusive B Decays
In this paper we investigate the hadronic mass spectra of inclusive B decays. Specifically, we study how an upper cut on the invariant mass spectrum, which is necessary to extract Vub, results in the breakdown of the standard perturbative expansion due to the existence of large infrared logs. We first show how the decay rate factorizes at the level of the double differential distribution. Then,...

Study of spectral moments in semileptonic decays of the b hadron with the DELPHI detector at LEP. The measurement of the moments of hadronic mass spectrum and of lepton energy spectrum based on a sample of semileptonic decays of the b hadron selected from Z 0 → b ¯ b events recorded with the Delphi detector at LEP, are presented. These results are interpreted in terms of constraints on the quar...
