The hadronic invariant mass spectrum for the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay $B\to X_u e \bar\nu_e$ is studied. Particular attention is paid to the region $s_H<m_D^2$, which may be useful for extracting the value of $|V_{ub}|$. The…

The sum rule for charmless inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays allows a theoretically clean and experimentally efficient determination of |V_{ub}|. The leading twist contribution to the sum rule is known in QCD. We compute higher twist…
