Abstract

The first simultaneous determination of the absolute value of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vub using inclusive and exclusive decays is performed with the full Belle data set at the (4S) resonance, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb-1. We analyze collision events in which one B meson is fully reconstructed in hadronic modes. This allows for the reconstruction of the hadronic Xu system of the semileptonic b→uν¯ decay. We separate exclusive B→πν¯ decays from other inclusive B→Xuν¯ and backgrounds with a two-dimensional fit that utilizes the number of charged pions in the Xu system and the four-momentum transfer q2 between the B and Xu systems. Combining our meas..
