Extracting V_{ub} Using the Radiative Decay Data

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

In this talk I review recent progress made in extracting V_{ub} from the cut electron energy and hadronic mass spectra of inclusive B meson decays utilizing the data from radiative decays. It is shown that an extraction is possible without modeling the B meson structure function. I discuss the issues involving the assumptions of local duality in various extractions. I also comment on the recent CLEO extraction of V_{ub}.
