B Meson Decays: Recent Results from CLEO
Abstract
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* ell nu at zero recoil combined with the predicted form factor FD*(wmin) yields |Vcb|. The photon energy spectrum in b -> s gamma and the hadronic recoil mass spectrum in B -> Xc ell nu determine non-perturbative HQET parameters used with inclusive b -> c and b -> u rates to obtain |Vcb| and |Vub|.
