Hoi,

I am looking in recoilDsys.cc at

  TRandom rndm(seed);
  float xv0[6]={10.2,2.10,4.68,0.,0.63,0.23}; // existing measurements (order: all semilep, D,D*,nothing,D1*,D2*)
  float xt0[6]={11.3,2.10,5.60,9.,0.56,0.37};// values from decay.dec
  float xe0[6]={0.4,0.19,0.22,0.,0.10,0.08}; // errors on existing measurements

from the  HEAD of  IBU. I think  that these hard-coded  numbers should
tell about  B0 decays (compared to  the tables in  files which contain
the D decay numbers), right?

Can someone please explain these numbers?  In particular, I am puzzled
about the following:

o How do we get 11.3 from decay.dec? I checked and that should be 10.4
  and it is (if you sum it up, e.g. in release 10.3.1a). The existing
  measurements for the sl BR B->Xc l nu is 10.42, not 10.2 (PDG)

o I  would propose  to change 4.68  to 5.4\pm  0.22 since that  is the
  latest and greatest average from the old LEP-HF working group ([not]
  shown in Amsterdam, but implicit in the Vcb's shown there).  This is
  most probably going to be the new PDG value for the 2003 web update.


Cheers,
--U.
