A measurement of |Vcb| from B0 → D*+ ℓ- νℓ

From approximately 3 million hadronic decays of Z bosons recorded with the aleph detector at lep, a sample of 410 ± 32 B0→ D∗+ℓ−νℓ candidates is selected, where ℓ is either an electron or a muon. The differential decay rate dΓ (B0→ D∗+ℓ−νℓ)dω from this sample is fitted, yielding a value for the prod...
