The charmless semileptonic decay branching fraction has been measured, using inclusive techniques, by the Aleph, Delphi and L3 experiments at LEP. The average of their results is 1.74 +/- 0.37 +/- 0.38 +/- 0.21 10-3. From this result the…
Semileptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, and to obtain a $R$-ratio to investigate lepton-flavor-universality violations. Results for the CKM matrix…
We present a measurement of $|V_{ub}|$ from a simultaneous study of the charmless semileptonic decays $B^0\to\pi^- \ell^+ \nu_{\ell}$ and $B^+\to\rho^0 \ell^+\nu_{\ell}$, where $\ell = e, \mu$. This measurement uses a data sample of 387…
Semileptonic ${B}$ meson decays involving low-mass charged leptons ${e}$ or ${\mu}$ are expected to be free of non-Standard Model contributions and therefore play a critical role in determinations of ${\vert V_{ub} \vert}$ and ${\vert…
