Abstract

A sample of 365 fb−1 of (Formula presented) data collected by the Belle II experiment is used to measure the partial branching fractions of charmless semileptonic B meson decays and determine the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element Vub. Events containing a signal electron or muon l and a fully reconstructed hadronic B decay that constrains the signal kinematics are selected, while the rest of the event defines the hadronic system Xu associated with the signal. To discriminate the signal from the 50-times larger background originating from CKM-favored semileptonic B decays, a template fit is performed in both signal and control regions after applying an optimized s..
