Measurement of the Moments of the Hadronic Invariant Mass Distribution in Semileptonic Beta Decays (open access)

Measurement of the Moments of the Hadronic Invariant Mass Distribution in Semileptonic Beta Decays

Using 180 pb{sup -1} of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, we measure the first two moments of the hadronic invariant mass-squared distribution in charmed semileptonic B decays. From these we determine the non-perturbative Heavy Quark Effective Theory parameters {Lambda} and {lambda}{sub 1} used to relate the B meson semileptonic branching ratio to the CKM matrix element |V{sub cb}|.
