Events are selected by fully reconstructing the decay of one B meson and identifying a charged lepton from the decay of the other B meson from Υ ( 4 S ) → B ¯¯¯ B events. In one approach, we combine the inclusive ¯¯¯ B → X u ℓ ¯ ν rate, integrated up to a maximum hadronic mass m X < 1.67     GeV / c 2 , with a measurement of the inclusive B → X s γ photon energy spectrum. We obtain | V u b | = ( 4.43 ± 0.38 stat ± 0.25 syst ± 0.29 theo ) × 10 − 3 . In another approach we measure the total ¯¯¯ B → X u ℓ ¯ ν rate over the full phase space and find | V u b | = ( 3.84 ± 0.70 stat ± 0.30 syst ± 0.10 theo ) × 10 − 3 .7 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2006Física de partículesExperimentsParticle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5425922019-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
