Measuring~~$|V_{ub}|$~~at~~the~~LEP/SLC
Abstract
We show that the observation of energetic charged leptons from semileptonic $B$-meson decays at the LEP and SLC $Z$--boson factories offers a unique opportunity to measure the quark mixing matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. We present various distributions of the $B$ decay products to show that the $b \to u$ decays can be cleanly separated from the $b \to c$ decays, with a signal of $O(100)$ events per million $Z$ bosons produced.
