Description

We present the first attempt to extract vertical stroke Vcb vertical stroke from the Λb → Λc+l anti νl decay without relying on vertical stroke Vub vertical stroke inputs from the B meson decays. Meanwhile, the hadronic Λb → ΛcM(c) decays with M = (π-,K-) and Mc =(D-,D-s) measured with high precisions are involved in the extraction. Explicitly, we find that vertical stroke Vcb vertical stroke =(44.6 ± 3.2) x 10-3, agreeing with the value of (42.11 ± 0.74) x 10-3 from the inclusive B → Xcl anti νl decays. Furthermore, based on the most recent ratio of vertical stroke Vub vertical stroke / vertical stroke Vcb vertical stroke from the exclusive modes, we obtain vertical stroke Vub vertical stroke = (4.3 ± 0.4) x 10-3, which is close to the value of (4.49 ± 0.24) x 10-3 from the inclusive B → Xul anti νl decays. We conclude that our determinations of vertical stroke Vcb vertical stroke and vertical stroke Vub vertical stroke favor the corresponding inclusive extractions in the B decays. (orig.)
