Book Description
We report a measurement of the inclusive charmless semileptonic branching fraction of B mesons in a sample of 89 million B[bar B] events recorded with the BABAR detector at the[Upsilon](4S) resonance. 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. The number of signal events is extracted from the hadronic mass distribution and is used to determine the ratio of branching fractions[Beta]([bar B][yields] X[sub u]l[bar[nu]])/[Beta]([bar B][yields] Xl[bar[nu]])= (2.06[+-] 0.25(stat)[+-] 0.23(syst)[+-] 0.36(theo)) x 10[sup -2]. Using the measured branching fraction for inclusive semileptonic B decays, we find[Beta]([bar B][yields] X[sub u]l[bar[nu]])= (2.24[+-] 0.27(stat)[+-] 0.26(syst)[+-] 0.39(theo)) x 10[sup -3] and derive the CKM matrix elementV[sub ub]= (4.62[+-] 0.28(stat)[+-] 0.27(syst)[+-] 0.48(theo)) x 10[sup -3].
