In the Standard Model of particle physics, the strength of the couplings of the $b$ quark to the $u$ and $c$ quarks, $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, are governed by the coupling of the quarks to the Higgs boson. Using data from the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, the probability for the $Lambda^0_b$ baryon to decay into the $p mu^- overline{ u}_mu$ final state relative to the $Lambda^+_c mu^- overline{ u}_mu$ final state is measured. Combined with theoretical calculations of the strong interaction and a previously measured value of $|V_{cb}|$, the first $|V_{ub}|$ measurement to use a baryonic decay is performed. This measurement is consistent with previous determinations of $|V_{ub}|$ using $B$ meson decays to specific final states and confirms the existing incompatibility with those using an inclusive sample of final states.

The 2012 PDG reports a tension at the level of $3 sigma$ between two exclusive determinations of $|V_{ub}|$. They are obtained by combining the experimental branching ratios of $B to tau u$ and $B to pi l u$ (respectively) with a theoretical comput ation of the hadronic matrix elements $fB$ and the $B to pi$ form factor $f_+(q^2)$. To understand the tension, improved precision and a careful analysis of the systematics involved are necessary. We report the results of the ALPHA collaboration for $fB$ from the lattice with 2 flavors of $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. We employ HQET, including $1/m_b$ corrections, with pion masses ranging down to $approx$ 190 MeV. Renormalization and matching were performed non-perturbatively, and three lattice spacings reaching $a^{-1}approx 4.1$ GeV are used in the continuum extrapolation. We also present progress towards a computation of $f_+(q^2)$, to directly compare two independent exclusive determinations of $|V_{ub}|$ with each other and with inclusive determinations. Additionally, we report on preliminary results for $fBq{s}$, needed for the analysis of $B_s to mu^+mu^-$.}

We present a measurement of the charmless semileptonic decay $B^0topi^-ell^+ u$ using a data sample containing 657$times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ events collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider operating near the $Upsi lon(4S)$ resonance. We determine the total branching fraction of the decay, $mathcal{B}(B^0topi^-ell^+ u)=(1.49pm 0.04{(mathrm{stat})}pm 0.07{(mathrm{syst})})times 10^{-4}$. We also report a new precise measurement of the differential decay rate, and extract the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ using model-independent and -dependent approaches. From a simultaneous fit to the measured differential decay rate and lattice QCD results, we obtain $|V_{ub}|=(3.43pm 0.33)times 10^{-3}$, where the error includes both statistical and systematic uncertainties.
We report the results of a study of the exclusive charmless semileptonic decays, B^0 --> pi^- l^+ nu, B^+ --> pi^0 l^+ nu, B^+ --> omega l^+ nu, B^+ --> eta l^+ nu and B^+ --> eta^ l^+ nu, (l = e or mu) undertaken with approximately 462x10^6 Bbar{B} pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. The analysis uses events in which the signal B decays are reconstructed with a loose neutrino reconstruction technique. We obtain partial branching fractions in several bins of q^2, the square of the momentum transferred to the lepton-neutrino pair, for B^0 --> pi^- l^+ nu, B^+ --> pi^0 l^+ nu, B^+ --> omega l^+ nu and B^+ --> eta l^+ nu. From these distributions, we extract the form-factor shapes f_+(q^2) and the total branching fractions BF(B^0 --> pi^- l^+ nu) = (1.45 +/- 0.04_{stat} +/- 0.06_{syst})x10^-4 (combined pi^- and pi^0 decay channels assuming isospin symmetry), BF(B^+ --> omega l^+ nu) = (1.19 +/- 0.16_{stat} +/- 0.09_{syst})x10^-4 and BF(B^+ --> eta l^+ nu) = (0.38 +/- 0.05_{stat} +/- 0.05_{syst})x10^-4. We also measure BF(B^+ --> eta^ l^+ nu) = (0.24 +/- 0.08_{stat} +/- 0.03_{syst})x10^-4. We obtain values for the magnitude of the CKM matrix element V_{ub} by direct comparison with three different QCD calculations in restricted q^2 ranges of B --> pi l^+ nu decays. From a simultaneous fit to the experimental data over the full q^2 range and the FNAL/MILC lattice QCD predictions, we obtain |V_{ub}| = (3.25 +/- 0.31)x10^-3, where the error is the combined experimental and theoretical uncertainty.
We investigate $ovar{B^0} to D_s^- pi^+$ decay in perturbative QCD approach which has recently been applied to $B$ meson decays. $ovar{B^0} to D_s^- pi^+$ decay (and its charge conjugated mode) can be one of the hopeful modes to determine $|V_{ub}|$ since it occurs through $b to u$ transition only. We estimate both factorizable and non-factorizable contribution, and show that the non-factorizable contribution is much less than the factorizable one. Our calculation gives ${BR}(ovar{B^0} to D_s^- pi^+) = (50 sim 70) times f_{Ds}^2|{V_{ub}}{V_{cs}}|^2$.

We perform the simultaneous $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ extractions with only the exclusive $Lambda_b$ decays of $Lambda_bto (p,Lambda_c^+)mubar u_mu$, $Lambda_bto ppi^-$ and $Lambda_bto Lambda_c^+ (pi^-, D^-)$. We obtain that $|V_{ub}|=(3.7pm 0.3)tim es 10^{-3}$ and $|V_{cb}|=(45.9pm 2.7)times 10^{-3}$. Our value of $|V_{ub}|$ is larger than that of $(3.27pm 0.15pm 0.16pm 0.06)times 10^{-3}$, previously extracted by the LHC Collaboration from the exclusive $Lambda_b$ decays also, but nearly identical to $(3.72pm 0.19)times 10^{-3}$ from the exclusive $B$ decays. On the other hand, our extracted result of $|V_{cb}|$ favors the value of $(42.2pm 0.8)times 10^{-3}$ from the inclusive $B$ decays.
