Abstract
We determine the inclusive branching fraction, , the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element , and other heavy-quark parameters from a simultaneous fit to moments of the hadronic-mass and lepton-energy distributions in semileptonic -meson decays, measured as a function of the lower limit on the lepton energy, using data recorded with the BABAR detector. Using heavy-quark expansions (HQEs) to order , we extract and . The stated errors refer to the experimental, HQE, and additional theoretical uncertainties.
