Abstract

We present the first global phenomenological fit of inclusive BˉXcνˉ\bar B\to X_c\ell\bar\nu observables to all available experimental data allowing for generic dimension-six New Physics interactions in the Weak Effective Theory. The fit includes both New Physics Wilson coefficients and non-perturbative QCD parameters. New Physics contributions are calculated including power corrections up to O(ΛQCD3/mb3)\mathcal O(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^3/m_b^3) and perturbative QCD corrections up to O(αs)\mathcal O(\alpha_s). We find no significant preference for New Physics and obtain bounds on the size of the relevant Wilson Coefficients competitive with those coming from exclusive modes.
