Measurement of the Moments of the Photon Energy Spectrum in B -> X_s gamma Decays and Determination of |V_cb| and m_b at Belle

Using the previous Belle measurement of the inclusive photon energy in $B\to X_sγ$ decays, we determine the first and second moments of this spectrum for minimum photon energies in the $B$ meson rest frame ranging from 1.8 to 2.3 GeV. Combining these measurements with recent Belle data on the lepton energy and hadronic mass moments in $B\to X_c\ellν$ decays, we perform fits to theoretical expressions derived in the 1S and kinetic mass schemes and extract the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $V_{cb}$, the $b$-quark mass and other non-perturbative parameters. In the 1S scheme analysis we find $|V_{cb}|=(41.56\pm 0.68(\mathrm{fit})\pm 0.08(τ_B))\times 10^{-3}$ and $m_b^\mathrm{1S}=(4.723\pm 0.055)$ GeV. In the kinetic scheme, we obtain $|V_{cb}|=(41.58\pm 0.69(\mathrm{fit})\pm 0.08(τ_B)\pm 0.58(\mathrm{th}))\times 10^{-3}$ and $m_b^\mathrm{kin}=(4.543\pm 0.075)$ GeV.

Moments of the electron energy spectrum and partial branching fraction of $B \to X_c e ν$ decays at Belle

We report a measurement of the inclusive electron energy spectrum for charmed semileptonic decays of B mesons in a 140fb-1 data sample collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider. We determine the first four moments of the electron energy spectrum for threshold values of the electron energy between 0.4 and 2.0 GeV. In addition, we provide values of the partial branching fraction (zeroth moment) for the same electron threshold energies, and independent measurements of the B+ and B0 partial branching fractions at 0.4 GeV and 0.6 GeV electron threshold energies. We measure the independent B+ and B^0 partial branching fractions with electron threshold energies of 0.4 GeV to be Δ\mathcal{B} (B+ -> X_c e ν)=(10.79 +/- 0.25(stat.) +/- 0.27(sys.))% and Δ\mathcal{B} (B0 -> X_c e ν)=(10.09 +/- 0.30(stat.) +/- 0.22(sys.))%. Full correlations between all measurements are evaluated.
