It can be extracted from both inclusive or exclusive decays, like B --> pi (rho) l nu-bar_l. However, the exclusive determination from B --> rho l nu-bar_l, in particular, suffers from a large model dependence. In this paper, we propose to extract |V_ub| from the four-body semileptonic decay B --> pi pi l nu-bar_l, where the form factors for the pion-pion system are treated in dispersion theory. This is a model-independent approach that takes into account the pi-pi rescattering effects, as well as the effect of the rho meson. We demonstrate that both finite-width effects of the rho meson as well as scalar pi-pi contributions can be considered completely in this way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-04-15T08:28:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.75.Lb", "11.55.Fv", "13.20.He", "12.15.Hh" ], "keywords": [ "extraction", "rho meson", "cabibbo-kobayashi-maskawa matrix element", "large model dependence", "four-body semileptonic decay" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2014, "month": "Mar", "volume": 89, "number": 5, "pages": "053015" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1267509, "adsabs": "2014PhRvD..89e3015K" } } }
