hi roberto & kerstin, fine with me too..thanks for take care of that. ciao Vir ----------------------------------------------------------------- .*.

(/ \) The other asks, 'Are you sure?', ( ) to which the first replies, 'I'm positive.' ^^-^^ ----------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 29 Mar 2007, Roberto Sacco wrote: > Hi all, > > we came up with the following title/abstract: > > Measurement of Partial Branching Fractions for Inclusive > Charmless Semileptonic $B$ Decays, Extraction of $|V_{ub}|$ and > Determination of non-Perturbative OPE Parameters > from the Hadronic Mass Spectrum > > ABSTRACT > -------- > Charmless semileptonic decays, $B \rightarrow X_u \ell \bar{\nu}$, > are studied in a sample of 383 million $B \overline{B}$ decays recorded > with the BaBar detector, in events where the decay of the second B meson > is fully reconstructed.
