Abstract

Using a sample of 3.3×106 Υ(4S)BB¯ events collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we measure B(Bρlν), |Vub|, and the partial rate (ΔΓ) in three bins of q2(pBpρ)2. We find B(B0ρl+ν)=(2.69±0.410.40+0.35±0.50)×104, |Vub|=(3.23±0.240.26+0.23±0.58)×103, ΔΓ(0<q2<7GeV2/c4)=(7.6±3.01.2+0.9±3.0)×102ns1, ΔΓ(7<q2<14GeV2/c4)=(4.8±2.90.8+0.7±0.7)×102ns1, and ΔΓ(14<q2<21GeV2/c4)=(7.1±2.11.1+0.9±0.6)×102ns1. Here, l=e or μ, but not both, and the errors are statistical, systematic, and theoretical. The method is sensitive primarily to Bρlν decays with leptons in the energy range above 2.3 GeV. Averaging with the previously published CLEO results for Bρlν, we obtain B(B0ρl+ν)=(2.57±0.290.46+0.33±0.41)×104 and |Vub|=(3.25±0.140.29+0.21±0.55)×103.
