(prelim.) • Analyses towards precise Vcb • Inclusive B  X e n with full-recon. • B  X l n hadronic mass moments (prelim.) • B  X l n lepton energy moments (prelim.)

  3. Motivation • Fundamental free parameters • Majority of free parameters in the SM are related to quark (and lepton) flavors : masses and mixings • Quark flavor mixing through CKM matrix • Unitarity triangle • Direct test of CP violation mechanism in SM • Vub: still a weak link in CKM test • Vcb : as fundamental as Vub • Super-high precision, experimentally • A good testing ground of strong int. theory Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  4. Issues in Vub measurement • Use B  Xu l n (semileptonic) • Cleaner, better understood than B  hadronic • More accessible than B  leptonic • Inclusive and Exclusive • Experimentally challenging • Tight selection criteria results in Limited phase space  Extra theoretical uncertainties (from extrapolation) Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  5. Variables to suppress b  c l n (10% phase sp.) (~80%) (~30%) Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  6. Inclusive B  Xu l n with End-point

  7. Main features • Measure DB(B  Xu e n, pe > pcut) • Kinematic selection • pe > pcut • pcut = 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 GeV/c • No requirement other than on the • signal electron • high statistics • Large background from B  Xc e n • bkg. sys. uncertainty OPE breaks down  need shape ftn.! Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  8. b-quark Shape Function • What is it? • b-quark Fermi motion inside the B-meson • How to get it? • Universal at leading order for all b light quark transitions • Use E(g) in B  Xs g Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  11. Event Selection • Hadronic events • Electrons in the barrel region • eff. ~ 94%; fake rate ~ 0.13% • J/y, y(2S), g, p0 veto • Continuum suppression • Fox-Wolfram moment • Fisher disc. for energy-flow variables • |cos qth| < 0.75 • as q2 independent as possible • Background estimated by • b cMC and Off-resonance Data • low-p region for check 1.5 < pe < pcut (GeV/c) Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  12. E(e) spectrum for B  Xu e n Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  13. DB – partial BF • Two methods for DBVub • Standard method(DFN, JHEP 9906, 017) • New method(BLNP, NP B699 (2004))

  17. Signal selection • Lepton Selection • p > 1 GeV/c • leptons in the barrel region • J/y, g, p0 veto • Correct charge for B+ candidate • No other lepton Nsl= (9.15  0.05) x 104 • For b u • Total charge = 0 • No reconstructed KS or K Beauty 2005, June 20-24, 2005 Youngjoon Kwon (Yonsei Univ. / Belle)

  27. Analysis Method Tag side reconstruction 4 decay modes 7 decay modes Signal side reconstruction or Kinematics of double semileptonic decay Back-to-back correlation of the two B’sconstrains their direction to the intersection of the 2 cones.

Calibration with Bsig→D*ln Decays • Validity of the method for double semileptonic decay detection has been tested with M(K+p-p-) on the signal side xB2 distribution Nobs=14712 ( Nexpected =165) Dots: Data Histo: MC xB2 M(Kpp) GeV/c2 • The ratio Nobs/Nexpected = 0.89 0.08 is used to correct the MC efficiency for p l n and r l ndetection. The method works !
