1. Introduction
---------------
All results and input files are available at
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/hfag/semi/pdg06/pdg06.shtml
In the following (in no particular order), the updates for PDG 2006
with respect to PDG 2005 (web update) are discussed. In a number of cases we corrected bugs in the
input and param files used to compute the averages. In general the effects of those changes are minor.
| PDG 2005 | PDG 2006
------------------------------------------------
BF(B0-> D l nu) % | 2.12 +- 0.20 | 2.12 +- 0.20
BF(B0-> D* l nu) % | 5.34 +- 0.20 | 5.35 +- 0.20
BF(B->Xlnu) % | 10.87 +- 0.17 | 10.78 +- 0.18
|V(cb)|F(1) | 37.6 +- 0.9 | 37.6 +- 0.8
rho^2 | 1.56 +- 0.14 | 1.58 +- 0.14
|V(cb)|G(1) | 42.2 +- 3.7 | 42.6 +- 4.5
rho^2 | 1.15 +- 0.16 | 1.17 +- 0.18
We include a table of [B+ -> X l+nu] and [B0 -> X- l+ nu] branching fractions
separately. Currently we do not possess enough information of the older measurements
to enable us to compute the average at this time. We assume PDG will re-do their average
with the new Belle result included.
2. Changes to common parameters
-------------------------------
We use the updated input parameters for mixing and lifetimes from the
HFAG PDG 2006 update (common.param).
