A largely model-independent measurement of the inclusive electron momentum spectrum and branching fraction for semileptonic decays of B mesons is presented based on data recorded at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. Backgrounds from secondary charm decays are separated from prompt B decays using charge and angular correlations between the electron from one B meson and a high momentum electron tag from the second B meson. The resulting branching fraction is B(B⃗Xeν)=[10.87±0.18(stat)±0.30(syst)]%. Based on this measurement we determine the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element |Vcb|.

Abstract: | A largely model-independent measurement of the inclusive electron momentum spectrum and branching fraction for semileptonic decays of B mesons is presented based on data recorded at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. Backgrounds from secondary charm decays are separated from prompt B decays using charge and angular correlations between the electron from one B meson and a high momentum electron tag from the second B meson. The resulting branching fraction is B(B⃗Xeν)=[10.87±0.18(stat)±0.30(syst)]%. Based on this measurement we determine the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element |Vcb|. |
