abstract

We present the first determination of $V_{cb}$ from inclusive $B\to X_c \ell \bar\nu_\ell$ using moments of the dilepton invariant mass, $q^2$. These moments are reparametrization invariant quantities and depend on a reduced set of non-perturbative parameters. This reduced opens a new path to extract these parameters up to $1/m_b^4$ purely from data and thereby reducing the uncertainty on $V_{cb}$. In this paper, we present our first determination of $V_{cb}$ using this method. Combining the recent measurements of $q^2$ moments by Belle and Belle II, our default fit gives $|V_{cb}| = (41.69\pm 0.63)\cdot 10^{-3}$. This results presents an important independent cross check of, and is consistent with, the previous state-of-the-art inclusive determinations using lepton energy and hadronic invariant mass moments.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A fixed-point cascade in the asymptotically safe Standard Model predicts the near-diagonal CKM structure with two different precisions and preserves large PMNS mixing by dynamically suppressing neutrino Yukawa couplings.

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper identifies a minimal four-observable basis in Bd -> K* mu+ mu- that, combined with B -> K mu+ mu- input, can extract the complex (CP-violating) Wilson coefficients C9, C10, C'9 and C'10.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytic HQE moments for inclusive B to X_c l nu are extended to O(Lambda^5/m_b^5), including q^2 moments with a lepton-energy cut, and a CLEO data tension is identified.

  8. $V_{cb}$ puzzle in semi-leptonic $B\to D^*$ decays revisited

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the latest Belle and Belle II data, CLN, BGL, and HQET fits give consistent exclusive |Vcb| values near 39.7 times 10^-3, confirming the persistent 2 to 3 sigma gap with the inclusive value.

    The authors complete the O(alpha_s^2) perturbative correction to the q^2 spectrum of b -> X_c l nu_l, adding the triple-charm channel, and confirm the existing single-charm result.
