Description

We present partial branching fractions for inclusive charmless semileptonic B decays B -> Xu l ? , and the determination of the CKM matrix element |Vub |. The analysis is based on a sample of 383 million Y(4S) decays into B Bar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings. Psi(4S ) -> B Bar events are tagged by the full reconstruction of a hadronic decay of one of the B mesons. Signal B -> Xu l ? is then identified looking at several kinematic variables. The corresponding value of |Vub| is extracted.
