Abstract

I report results from the CLEO collaboration on semileptonic B decays, highlighting measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements Vcb and Vub. I describe the techniques used to obtain the recent improvements in precision for these measurements, including the use of the b -> s gamma photon spectrum to reduce hadronic uncertainties in semileptonic B decays. I also report new measurements of Vcb using the inclusive semileptonic branching fraction BF(B -> X e nu) and of Vub through study of the q^2 dependence of B -> pi l nu and B -> rho l nu.
