Description

We analyse the B-bars0→K+lν-bar and B-bars0→K∗+(→Kπ)ℓν-bar decays that are valuable for extracting the CKM matrix element |Vub|. We calculate the differential and integrated partial widths in units of |Vub|2 based on various calculations of hadronic form factors and in particular the latest Lattice QCD calculation of the Bs→K form factors. For the decay B-bars0→Kπℓν-bar, we formulate the general angular distributions with the inclusion of the various partial-wave Kπ contributions. Using the results for the Kπ scalar form factor calculated from unitarized chiral perturbation theory, we explore the S-wave effects on angular distribution variables and demonstrate that they may not be negligible, considering the high precision expected in future measurements. We also briefly discuss the impact of the S-wave ππ contributions in the B→π+πℓν-bar decay and provide estimates for the mode B→K+Kℓν-bar. The studies of these channels in future can not only be used to determine |Vub|, but may also provide valuable information on the Kπ and ππ phase shifts
