Measurement of the inclusive semileptonic b branching ratios and the extraction of $V_{cb}$ at LEP

The inclusive direct b to l/sup -/ and cascade b to c to l/sup +/ semileptonic branching ratios of the b quark were measured by the four LEP collaborations by means of several strategies. The first inclusive measurement of BR(b to c to l/sup -/) was obtained by DELPHI. From the BR(b to l/sup -/) LEP...

Sumario:The inclusive direct b to l/sup -/ and cascade b to c to l/sup +/ semileptonic branching ratios of the b quark were measured by the four LEP collaborations by means of several strategies. The first inclusive measurement of BR(b to c to l/sup -/) was obtained by DELPHI. From the BR(b to l/sup -/) LEP average, the most precise determination of the V/sub cb/ coupling constant was then extracted in the OPE approach. (7 refs).
