Abstract

We compute the first moments of the q2q^2 distribution in inclusive semileptonic BB decays as functions of the lower cut on q2q^2, confirming a number of results given in the literature and adding the O(αs2β0)O(\alpha_s^2\beta_0) BLM contributions. We then include the q2q^2-moments recently measured by Belle and Belle II in a global fit to the moments. The new data are compatible with the other measurements and slightly decrease the uncertainty on the nonperturbative parameters and on Vcb|V_{cb}|. Our updated value is Vcb=(41.97±0.48)×103|V_{cb}|=(41.97\pm 0.48)\times 10^{-3}.
