Abstract

We report a fully inclusive measurement of the flavor changing neutral current decay BXsγB\to X_s\gamma in the energy range 1.7\GeVEγc.m.s2.8\GeV1.7 \GeV\le E^\mathrm{c.m.s}_\gamma\le 2.8 \GeV, covering 97% of the total spectrum, where c.m.s is the center of mass system. Using 605\ifb605\ifb of data, we obtain in the rest frame of the BB-meson B(BXsγ:EγB>1.7GeV)=(3.31±0.19±0.37±0.01)×104{\mathcal B}(B\to X_s\gamma : E^B_\gamma>1.7 \mathrm{GeV})= (3.31 \pm 0.19 \pm 0.37 \pm 0.01)\times 10^{-4}, where the errors are statistical, systematic and from the boost correction needed to transform from the rest frame of the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) (c.m.s) to that of the BB-meson, respectively. We also measure the first and second moments of the photon energy spectrum as functions of various energy thresholds, which extend down to 1.7\GeV1.7 \GeV. The results are preliminary.
