Abstract

We present partial branching fractions for inclusive charmless semileptonic B decays B → Xulν, and the determination of the CKM matrix element |Vub|. The analysis is based on a sample of 467 million Υ(4S) decays into B B pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEPII e+e− storage rings. The invariant mass of the hadronic system, MX, the squared invariant mass of the lepton pair, q2, and the variable P+ = EX − |PX| and their combinations, in the process B → Xulν are used as discriminant variables to suppress semileptonic decays with charm. Partial branching fractions are measured as a function of the cuts on the above variables. Theoretical calculations are used to compute acceptances and related uncertainties, thereby allowing to extract |Vub|.
