We present results of a lattice study of the form factors in the decay B-> pi l nu. We attempt to disentangle the the dependence of the form factors on the light quark masses and the momentum transfer. Using models of the q^2 dependence we…
We fit the unfolded data of $\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{*+} \ell \overline{\nu}$ from the Belle experiment, where $\ell \equiv e, \mu$, using a method independent of heavy quark symmetry to extrapolate to zero-recoil and extract the value of…

We measure partial branching fractions for the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay of $\Bxulnu$, and present determinations of the CKM matrix element $\Vub$. This analysis is based on a sample of 467 million $\FourS$ decays into $\BB$…
We present an extended discussion of the previously noted possibility to extract |V_{ub}| from an analysis of the hadronic recoil mass spectrum in B->X_u l nu decays. Invariant mass spectra containing perturbative as well as nonperturbative…
We present a closed form expression for |V_{ub}|^2/ |V_{tb} V_{ts}^*|^2 in terms of the endpoint photon and lepton spectra from the inclusive decays B -> X_s\gamma and B -> X_u\ell\nu, respectively, which includes the resummation of the…

The CLEO Collaboration has extracted improved values of |V_cb| and |V_ub| from measurements of exclusive and inclusive decays of B mesons. The measurement of B -> D* ell nu at zero recoil combined with the predicted form factor F_D*(w_min)…

We report the results of a study of the exclusive semileptonic decays B->pi0lnu, B->pi+lnu, B->rho0lnu, B->rho+lnu and B->omegalnu, where l represents an electron or a muon. The events are tagged by fully reconstructing a second B meson in…
Current errors on |V_{ub}| are dominated by model dependence. For inclusive decays, the model dependence comes from the Fermi motion of the b quark. By combining the endpoint photon and lepton spectra from the inclusive decays B -> X_s…
