We present measurements of partial branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic $B to X_u , ell^+, u_{ell}$ decays using the full Belle data set of 711 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and for $ell = e, mu$. Inclusive semileptonic $B to X_u , ell^+, u_{ell}$ decays are CKM suppressed and measurements are complicated by the large background from CKM-favored $B to X_c , ell^+, u_{ell}$ transitions, which have a similar signature. Using machine learning techniques, we reduce this and other backgrounds effectively, whilst retaining access to a large fraction of the $B to X_u , ell^+, u_{ell}$ phase space and high signal efficiency. We measure partial branching fractions in three phase-space regions covering about $31%$ to $86%$ of the accessible $B to X_u , ell^+, u_{ell}$ phase space. The most inclusive measurement corresponds to the phase space with lepton energies of $E_ell^B > 1 $ GeV, and we obtain $Delta mathcal{B}(B to X_u ell^+ , u_ell) = left( 1.59 pm 0.07 pm 0.16 right) times 10^{-3}$ from a two-dimensional fit of the hadronic mass spectrum and the four-momentum-transfer squared distribution, with the uncertainties denoting the statistical and systematic error. We find $left| V_{ub} right| = left( 4.10 pm 0.09 pm 0.22 pm 0.15 right) times 10^{-3}$ from an average of four calculations for the partial decay rate with the third uncertainty denoting the average theory error. This value is higher but compatible with the determination from exclusive semileptonic decays within 1.3 standard deviations. In addition, we report charmless inclusive partial branching fractions separately for $B^+$ and $B^0$ mesons as well as for electron and muon final states. No isospin breaking or lepton flavor universality violating effects are observed.

The first measurements of differential branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic ${B to X_u , ell^+, u_{ell}}$ decays are performed using the full Belle data set of 711 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and for $ell = e, mu$. Differential branching fractions are reported as a function of the lepton momentum, the four-momentum-transfer squared, light-cone momenta, the hadronic mass, and the hadronic mass squared. They are obtained by subtracting the backgrounds from semileptonic ${B to X_c , ell^+, u_{ell}}$ decays and other processes, and corrected for resolution and acceptance effects. The measured distributions are compared to predictions from inclusive and hybrid ${B to X_u , ell^+, u_{ell}}$ calculations.
We present the measurement of the first to fourth order moments of the four-momentum transfer squared, $q^2$, of inclusive $B rightarrow X_c ell^+ u_{ell}$ decays using the full Belle data set of 711 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance where $ell = e, mu$. The determination of these moments and their systematic uncertainties open new pathways to determine the absolute value of the CKM matrix element $V_{cb}$ using a reduced set of matrix elements of the heavy quark expansion. In order to identify and reconstruct the $X_c$ system, we reconstruct one of the two $B$-mesons using machine learning techniques in fully hadronic decay modes. The moments are measured with progressively increasing threshold selections on $q^2$ starting with a lower value of 3.0 $mathrm{GeV}^2$ in steps of 0.5 $mathrm{GeV}^2$ up to a value of 10.0 $mathrm{GeV}^2$. The measured moments are further unfolded, correcting for reconstruction and selection effects as well as QED final state radiation. We report the moments separately for electron and muon final states and observe no lepton flavor universality violating effects.
We present the result of the search for the rare $B$ meson decay of $B^+ to ell^{,+} u_{ell} gamma$ with $ell =e,mu$. For the search the full data set recorded by the Belle experiment of $711 , mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity near the $Upsilon (4S)$ resonance is used. Signal candidates are reconstructed for photon energies $E_{gamma}$ larger than $1 , mathrm{GeV}$ using a novel multivariate tagging algorithm. The novel algorithm fully reconstructs the second $B$ meson produced in the collision using hadronic modes and was specifically trained to recognize the signal signature in combination with hadronic tag-side $B$ meson decays. This approach greatly enhances the performance. Background processes that can mimic this signature, mainly charmless semileptonic decays and continuum processes, are suppressed using multivariate methods. The number of signal candidates is determined by analyzing the missing mass squared distribution as inferred from the signal side particles and the kinematic properties of the tag-side $B$ meson. No significant excess over the background-only hypothesis is observed and upper limits on the partial branching fraction $ Delta mathcal{B} $ with $E_{gamma}> 1 , mathrm{GeV}$ individually for electron and muon final states as well as for the average branching fraction of both lepton final states are reported. We find a Bayesian upper limit of $Delta mathcal{B}( B^{+} to ell^{, +} u_{ell} gamma) < 3.0 times 10^{-6}$ at 90% CL and also report an upper limit on the first inverse moment of the light-cone distribution amplitude of the $B$ meson of $lambda_B$ at 90% CL.
The branching fractions of the decays $B^{+} to eta ell^{+} u_{ell}$ and $B^{+} to eta^{prime} ell^{+} u_{ell}$ are measured, where $ell$ is either an electron or a muon, using a data sample of $711,{rm fb}^{-1}$ containing $772 times 10^6 Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. To reduce the dependence of the result on the form factor model, the measurement is performed over the entire $q^2$ range. The resulting branching fractions are ${cal B}(B^{+} rightarrow eta ell^{+} u_{ell}) = (2.83 pm 0.55_{rm (stat.)} pm 0.34_{rm (syst.)}) times 10^{-5}$ and ${cal B}(B^{+} rightarrow eta ell^{+} u_{ell}) = (2.79 pm 1.29_{rm (stat.)} pm 0.30_{rm (syst.)}) times 10^{-5}$.
Using data samples of 89.5 and 711 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at energies of $sqrt{s}=10.52$ and $10.58$ GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays $Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} ell^{+} u_{ell}$ ($ell=e$ or $mu$) and the $CP$-asymmetry parameter of $Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} pi^{+}$ decay. The branching fractions are measured to be ${cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} e^{+} u_{e})=(1.31 pm 0.04 pm 0.07 pm 0.38)%$ and ${cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} mu^{+} u_{mu})=(1.27 pm 0.06 pm 0.10 pm 0.37)%$, and the decay parameter $alpha_{Xipi}$ is measured to be $0.63 pm 0.03 pm 0.01$ with much improved precision compared to the current world average. The corresponding ratio ${cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} e^{+} u_{e})/{cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} mu^{+} u_{mu})$ is $1.03 pm 0.05pm 0.07$, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter ${cal A}_{CP} = (alpha_{Xi^{-}pi^{+}} + alpha_{bar{Xi}^{+}pi^{-}})/(alpha_{Xi^{-}pi^{+}} - alpha_{bar{Xi}^{+}pi^{-}}) = 0.024 pm 0.052 pm 0.014$ is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the $Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} pi^+$ branching fraction.
