{vert_bar}V{sub ub}{vert_bar} from semileptonic decay and b {r_arrow} s{gamma}

Conference ·
OSTI ID:768527
Current errors on {vert_bar}V{sub ub}{vert_bar} are dominated by model dependence. For inclusive decays, the model dependence comes from the Fermi motion of the b quark. By combining the endpoint photon and lepton spectra from the inclusive decays B {r_arrow} X{sub s}{gamma} and B {r_arrow} X{sub u}{ell}{bar {nu}}, it is possible to remove this model dependence. We show how to combine these rates including the resummation of the end-point logs at next to leading order. The theoretical errors on {vert_bar}V{sub ub}{vert_bar} on the order of 10% are possible. We also give a brief discussion on comparing different extractions.
