TL;DR

This paper presents a novel method to measure |V_{ub}| through inclusive semileptonic B decay analysis, using simultaneous constraints on hadronic recoil mass and lepton-neutrino invariant mass, based on Belle data.

Contribution

It introduces a new X_u-reconstruction technique with simultaneous M_X and q^2 requirements for more precise |V_{ub}| measurement.

Findings

Measured partial branching fraction with specific M_X and q^2 cuts.

Determined |V_{ub}| value with quantified uncertainties.

Achieved improved constraints on |V_{ub}| using Belle data.

Abstract

We report the measurement of an inclusive partial branching fraction for charmless semileptonic B decay and the extraction of |V_{ub}|. Candidates for B-> X_u l nu are identified using a novel X_u-reconstruction method with simultaneous requirements on the hadronic recoil mass (M_X) and the invariant mass squared of lepton-neutrino system (q^2). Based on 86.9 fb^{-1} of data taken with the Belle detector, we obtain Delta{B}(B->X_u l nu ; M_X<1.7GeV, q^2>8.0GeV^2) = (7.37 +- 0.89(stat.) +- 1.12(syst.) +- 0.55(b ->c) +- 0.24(b->u)) x 10^{-4} and determine |V_{ub}| = (4.66 +- 0.28(stat.) +- 0.35(syst.) +- 0.17(b->c) +- 0.08(b->u) +- 0.58(theory)) x 10^{-3}.
