V ub extraction from inclusive charmless semileptonic decays In principle: easy and reliable: V ub == (3.06 ± 0.08 ± 0.08) 10 3 B ( B Xu ν ) 1.6 0.00 1 τ ps B 1/2 Greatest uncertainty m b Non-perturbative effects small But Charm background 100 times charmless signal Experimental ingenuity needed [e.g. cuts] Theorists are kept busy evaluating and debating new sources of theoretical error 4
Where it all started: cut of the endpoint of the charged lepton spectrum 5000 2500 0 3000 1500 0970102-001 ( a ) ( b ) Disadvantages: local OPE breaks down sensitivity to Fermi motion of the b quark f(k+) Motivated extraction of f(k+) from b sγ Alternative methods developed: either cutting on the hadronic invariant mass spectrum (m X <m D ): same problems with Fermi motion (function of the proximity of the cut to perturbative singularities) or q 2 >(m B -m D ) 2 5 Leptons / (50 MeV/c) 0 2.00 2.25 2.50 2.75 3.00 Momentum (GeV/c)

Theoretical issues Fermi motion at leading order (extracted from b sγ) and subleading order Weak-annihilation (common to all the methods) m b : rate proportional to m 5 b & restricting phase space increases sensitivity Perturbative corrections f(k + ): determine from the photon spectrum in B X s γ [subleading terms] 7
Weak Annihilation Weak annihilation in local OPE: An issue for tall inclusive determinations Relative size of the effect gets worse the more severe the cut Estimate: comparison between B 0 and B +, D,D s SL widths Weak annihilation in non-local OPE O Λ 2 2 QCD (16 π B ) 2 m B Can be >20% shift to integrated rate for E l >2.3GeV 8
