Abstract

We report on determinations of |Vub| resulting from studies of the branching fraction and q2 distributions in exclusive semileptonic B decays that proceed via the bu transition. Our data set consists of the 9.7×106 BB¯ meson pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the CLEO II detector. We measure B(B0πl+ν)=(1.33±0.18±0.11±0.01±0.07)×104 and B(B0ρl+ν)=(2.17±0.340.54+0.47±0.41±0.01)×104, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, systematic due to residual form-factor uncertainties in the signal, and systematic due to residual form-factor uncertainties in the cross-feed modes, respectively. We also find B(B+ηl+ν)=(0.84±0.31±0.16±0.09)×104, consistent with what is expected from the Bπlν mode and quark model symmetries. We extract |Vub| using light-cone sum rules for 0<~q2<16GeV2 and lattice QCD for 16GeV2<~q2<qmax2. Combining both intervals yields |Vub|=(3.24±0.22±0.130.39+0.55±0.09)×103 for πlν, and |Vub|=(3.00±0.210.350.38+0.29+0.49±0.28)×103 for ρlν, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, theoretical, and ρlν form-factor shape, respectively. Our combined value from both decay modes is |Vub|=(3.17±0.170.170.39+0.16+0.53±0.03)×103.
