Abstract

We report on determinations of \V-ub\ resulting from studies of the branching fraction and q(2) distributions in exclusive semileptonic B decays that proceed via the b-->u transition. Our data set consists of the 9.7x106B (B) over bar meson pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the CLEO II detector. We measure B(B-0-->pi(-)l(+)nu)=(1.33+/-0.18+/-0.11+/-0.01+/-0.07)x10(-4) and B(B-0-->rho(-)l(+)nu)=(2.17+/-0.34(-0.54)(+0.47)+/-0.41+/-0.01)x10(-4), where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, systematic due to residual form-factor uncertainties in the signal, and systematic due to residual form-factor uncertainties in the cross-feed modes, respectively. We also find B(B+-->etal(+)nu)=(0.84+/-0.31+/-0.16+/-0.09)x10(-4), consistent with what is expected from the B-->pilnu mode and quark model symmetries. We extract \V-ub\ using light-cone sum rules for 0less than or equal toq(2)<16 GeV2 and lattice QCD for 16 GeV(2)less than or equal toq(2)
