We report the first direct measurement of the inclusive branching fraction ${mathcal B}(B_s rightarrow D_s X)$ via $B_s$ tagging in $e^+e^-toUpsilon$(5S) events. Tagging is accomplished through a partial reconstruction of semileptonic decays $B_s rightarrow D_s X ell u$, where $X$ denotes unreconstructed additional hadrons or photons and $ell$ is an electron or muon. With 121.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at the $Upsilon$(5S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider, we obtain ${mathcal B}(B_s rightarrow D_s X)$ = $(61.6 pm 5.3 pm 2.1)$%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.

We report a measurement of the inclusive semileptonic $B_s^0$ branching fraction in a $121~fb^{-1}$ data sample collected near the $Upsilon(5S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. Events containing $B_s^0$ pairs are selected by reconstructing a tag side $D_s^+$ and identifying a signal side lepton $ell^+$ ($ell = e, mu$) that is required to have the same-sign charge to ensure that both originate from different $B_s^0$ mesons. The $B_s^0 rightarrow X^- ell^+ u_ell$ branching fraction is extracted from the ratio of the measured yields of $D_s^+$ mesons and $D_s^+ ell^+$ pairs and the known production and branching fractions. The inclusive semileptonic branching fraction is measured to be $[9.6 pm 0.4text{(stat)} pm 0.7text{(syst)}]~%$.
We present a lattice quantum chromodynamics determination of the ratio of the scalar and vector form factors for two semileptonic decays of the $B_s$ meson: $B_s rightarrow K ell u$ and $B_s rightarrow D_s ell u$. In conjunction with future experimental data, our results for these correlated form factors will provide a new method to extract $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$, which may elucidate the current tension between exclusive and inclusive determinations of these Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix parameters. In addition to the form factor results, we determine the ratio of the differential decay rates, and forward-backward and polarization asymmetries, for the two decays.
Inclusive semileptonic B_s^0 -> X^+ l^- u decays are studied for the first time using a 23.6 fb^{-1} data sample collected on the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. These decays are identified by the means of a lepton accompanied by a same-sign D_s^+ meson originating from the other B_s^0 in the event. The semileptonic branching fractions are measured in the electron and muon channels to be Bf(B_s^0 -> X^+ e^- u) = (10.9 pm 1.0 pm 0.9)% and Bf(B_s^0 -> X^+ mu^- u) = (9.2 pm 1.0 pm 0.8)%, respectively. Assuming an equal electron and muon production rate in B_s^0 decays, a combined fit yields an average leptonic branching fraction Bf(B_s^0 -> X^+ l^- u) = (10.2 pm 0.8 pm 0.9)%.
We present a measurement of the ratio of the Bs meson lifetime, in the flavor-specific decay to $D_s^+pi^-$, to that of the B0 meson. The pp collision data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1/fb, collected with the LHCb detector, at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Combining our measured value of 1.010 +/- 0.010 +/- 0.008 for this ratio with the known lifetime, we determine the flavor-specific Bs lifetime to be tau(Bs) = 1.535 +/- 0.015 +/- 0.014 ps, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This is the most precise measurement to date, and is consistent with previous measurements and theoretical predictions.
The element $|V_{cb}|$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is measured using semileptonic $B_s^0$ decays produced in proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. Rates of $B_s^0 to D_s^{-} mu^+ u_{mu}$ and $B_s^0 to D_s^{*-} mu^+ u_{mu}$ decays are analyzed using hadronic form-factor parametrizations derived either by Caprini, Lellouch and Neubert (CLN) or by Boyd, Grinstein and Lebed (BGL). The measured values of $|V_{cb}|$ are ${(41.4 pm 0.6 pm 0.9 pm 1.2)times 10^{-3}}$ and ${(42.3 pm 0.8 pm 0.9 pm 1.2)times 10^{-3}}$ in the CLN and BGL parametrization, respectively. The first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third is due to the external inputs used in the measurement. These results are in agreement with those obtained from decays of $B^+$ and $B^0$ mesons. They are the first determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ at a hadron-collider experiment and the first using $B_s^0$ meson decays.
