dc.description.abstract | We present measurements of partial branching fractions for the inclusive semileptonic decay
of B ! Xu` (` = e or ) leading to the determination of the CKM matrix element jVubj.
This analysis is based on a sample of 460 million BB events recorded at the (4S) resonance
at the BABAR detector.
We select B ! Xu` events using the energy spectrum of the lepton (E`) in an event
where one of the B-mesons is fully reconstructed. We measure partial branching fractions
in restricted regions of the E` spectrum, which are translated into values of jVubj using four
theoretical approaches. We calculate the arithmetic mean, using the results from the four
theoretical approaches at E` > 1:5 GeV resulting in: jVubj = (4:68+0:31
0:32) 103. The analysis
presented in this thesis is the rst time a measurement of jVubj has been performed using the
E` spectrum in events tagged with a fully reconstructed B meson. | en_US |
