Abstract
In light of the large amount of new experimental data, we revisit the determination of and from inclusive semileptonic and radiative decays. We study shape variables to order and , and include the order correction to the hadron mass spectrum in semileptonic decay, which improves the agreement with the data. We focus on the and kinetic mass schemes for the quark, with and without expanding in heavy quark effective theory. We perform fits to all available data from BABAR, BELLE, CDF, CLEO, and DELPHI, discuss the theoretical uncertainties, and compare with earlier results. We find and , including our estimate of the theoretical uncertainty in the fit.
