The Global Program of CKM Tests
• Goal: redundant determinations of sides and angles of the Unitarity Triangle(s)
• CLEO’s Role:– Measure UT sides through |Vcb|
and |Vub| in semileptonic B decays.
– Detailed studies to guide interpretation and help clear the “fog” of nonperturbative effects.
• Challenging experimentally and theoretically.

B Semileptonic Branching Fraction
• CLEO II: 10 fb-1 at (4S)– Mature, well-understood detector,
data, Monte Carlo, generators, etc.
• Lepton-Tagged Analysis– ptag>1.4 GeV/c plus accompanying
electron with pe>0.6 GeV/c. – Charge, angular correlations to
separate primary (BXe) from secondary (BD Ye).
• Refined electron ID, background and efficiency determinations.– Maximize understanding and
minimize momentum dependence.
CLEO - Preliminary
Preliminary: B(BXe)=(10.88 0.08 0.33)%

BSL – Still small-ish, but consistent
• Good agreement among different techniques, experiments.
• Measurements at (4S) have come up and LEP Z0 average has come down.– Most recent LEP fit
result is (10.590.22)%

The Reality of Semileptonic B DecaysThe Reality of Semileptonic B Decays
• We idealize them as…
• The real picture is…
• View of b decay obscured by…
– Hadronic effects describable by both perturbative and nonperturbative QCD.
– Uncertainty about our assumption of quark-hadron duality.
• Available tools include Heavy Quark Effective Theory and Lattice QCD. Must be validated by experiment.

HQET+OPE
• Expresses observables of inclusive b decay as expansions in inverse powers of MB (Voloshin +Shifman, …).
• One parameter at order QCD/MB: ~ MB – mb is the energy of light-quark and gluon degrees of freedom in
the B meson.
• Two parameters at order 2QCD/M2
B :
1 – negative of the average b-quark momentum squared. 2 – energy of the hyperfine interaction of the b spin with the light degrees
of freedom (from B*-B splitting: 2 = (0.128 0.010) GeV).
• Six more parameters at order 3QCD/M3
B (Gremm and Kapustin):
1, 2, T1, T2, T3, T4 (not all independent).
• Meaning of parameters depends on choices: order of perturbative (0(s/)2 ) and nonperturbative (1/M3
B) expansions and mass scheme. Consistency required. |Vcb| is what counts!

MOMENTS, INC. – CLEO Branch
• BXs Photon-Energy Moments
• BXl Lepton-Energy Moments
• BXl Hadronic Recoil Mass Moments
First and second moments, different lepton-energy ranges…
Lots of complementary information.
Data from different processes will tell us if this approach provides a coherent picture of inclusive B decays.
Ron Poling WIN03 October 7, 2003 9
Measuring BXs
• Use all available tools!– Traditional shape variables.
– Pseudo-reconstruction: demand consistency with BK(n)
– Use neural net to compute signal probability and measure spectrum of “weights.”
– Subtract continuum with below-(4S) data.
– Subtract backgrounds with Monte Carlo, informed by data wherever possible.
Photon-energy spectrum at (4S)
Continuum must be suppressed.
Ron Poling WIN03 October 7, 2003 10
Measuring BXs• CLEO II – 10 fb-1
• PRL 87, 251807 (2001)• Hard measurement, simple
interpretation:– Almost two-body, with
broadening by Fermi motion, gluon bremsstrahlung, boost of B’s at (4S)
– <E> gives nearly direct access to .
Next, measure the moments of the E spectrum by fitting to model of Ali-Greub or HQT calculation of Kagan-Neubert:

Hadronic Mass Moments in BXcl
• Select events with leptons with– 1.5 < pl < 2.5 GeV/c
• “ reconstruction” to measure p.• Calculate approximate hadronic
recoil mass using l (take advantage of pB small):
• Construct continuum-subtracted spectrum and fit to mixture:
– BDl (CLEO FF’s)– BD*l (CLEO FF’s)– High-mass, nonresonant by
models (ISGW2, Goity/Roberts)
• Use fit components to compute moments:
= 0.2510.023 0.062 GeV2
= 0.6390.056 0.178 GeV2
PRL 88, 251808 (2001)

Interpreting the Moments
• First moments E and MX2-
MD2 fitted to extract and 1.
• Combined solution is
= 0.350.0700.10 GeV
1 = -0.2360.0710.078 GeV2
• Precise meaning of parameters is scheme- and order-dependent; these are to order 1/MB
3, order 0s
2 in MS scheme.

Extracting |Vcb| from (BXcl)
• Ingredients: (BXcl) = (10.80.3)% (CLEO) B0 and B (PDG), f+/ f00 (CLEO) SL = (0.44 0.02) 10-10 MeV
• Result:
|Vcb| = 0.041 0.0005 0.0007 0.0009 Overall precision: ~3% + quark-hadron duality.

– B(Xc)NRl Goity/Roberts
– BXul ISGW2+NR

Improved Inclusive Measurement of |Vub|
• End-point technique:– Isolate BXul by looking above
(and just below) the BXcl kinematic limit.
– Used for bu discovery (CLEO, ARGUS) and CLEO 93: |Vub|/|Vcb|= 0.080.02
Significant model dependence.
• Can now do better:– Better knowledge of BXcl.
– BXs helps determine fraction of spectrum in end point.

Measuring BXul
2.0 < pl <2.6 GeV/c
Suppress continuum with neural net (energy flow w.r.t. lepton). Less q2- and M(Xu)-dependent.
Estimate BXcl by fitting inclusive spectrum. Components reflect state-of-the-art on form factors, b.r.’s, etc.
Trade-off: BXcl uncertainty vs. spectral-fraction uncertainty.

– Fit d/dq2
– Discriminates among FFs
• Bl– FF dependence is small– Disfavors ISGW2

Ron Poling WIN03 October 7, 2003 27
• CLEO is still contributing on |Vub| and |Vcb|.– Sample smaller than B factories, but well understood with
mature tools.
– We’re all limited by theoretical uncertainties. • Continuing and forthcoming CLEO CKM-related
measurements:– Completion of moment measurements, coordinated fits of all
available inputs.– Inclusive bul for all CLEO II and CLEO III via
multidimensional fit and bigger phase-space acceptance.
• CESR-c/CLEO-c will have significant impact on CKM. See the upcoming of Karl Ecklund.
