We present a NLO analysis of this ratio and show how it can be used to determine |V_ub/V_cb| independently of any model for the shape function. We also discuss how this relation can be used to test the validity of the shape-function theory on the data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-12T14:52:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "model-independent way", "differential semileptonic rate wrt", "extracting", "photon spectrum", "perturbation theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
