Hi Urs, just (again) a few thoughts and remarks concerning this topic: The maple code from Seven does not take into account the correlation between Lambda_bar and lambda_1 which could be large. In oder to obtain the correlation you just can take the famous Lambda_bar vs. lambda_1 plot from CLEO (don't take the one from DELPHI for obvious reasons :-) and estimate the correlation from there. Once you have the correlation you can use the code from Seven as starting base - I did this already for the exclusive B->sg measurement when they needed Lambda_bar striped down by one order for the BSG Neubert model. It worked. Concerning the numbers of the QCD parameters Lambda_bar and lambda_1 (or Lambda_bar and a in your case) I strongly suggest to use the measurement from CLEO as input. If I am not mistaken this numbers where used for the inclusive Vcb value for ICHEP02. I do not see any good reason not to use this procedure also for the Vub measurement. Any other choice of numbers will have to be justified and might face quite a bit of criticism from the outside (non-BABAR) physics community.
