Determination of |Vub| from Measurements of the Electron and Neutrino Momenta in Inclusive Semileptonic B Decays
Abstract
We present a determination of the CKM matrix element |Vub| based on the analysis of semileptonic B decays from a sample of 88 million Upsilon(4S) decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring. Charmless semileptonic B decays are selected using measurements of the electron energy and the invariant mass squared of the electron-neutrino pair. We obtain |Vub| = (3.95 +/- 0.26 +0.58-0.42 +/- 0.25) x 10-3, where the errors represent experimental uncertainties, heavy quark parameter uncertainties, and theoretical uncertainties, respectively.
