Measurement ofVub

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

The most recent experimental measurements of the weak mixing angleV ub are summarized. Inclusive and exclusive analysis techniques are described, including a new exclusive analysis by the CLEO Collaboration measuring the B → πℓν branching ratio. Future prospects are discussed.
