Constraints in the (|V_ub|,|V_cb|) plane. The horizontal and vertical coloured bands represent our average of the determinations from semileptonic B decays. The white bands with solid (dashed) borders correspond to the determination from exclusive (inclusive) semileptonic B decays. The diagonal coloured band corresponds to the determination of |V_ub|/|V_cb| from Λ_b decays.

Our inputs and averages for |V_ub| are described in section 2.5 of the summary of inputs and results.

The rainbow oval region indicates the indirect determination of |V_ub| and |V_cb| from the global fit, without any information from semileptonic or leptonic decays of b-hadrons.

Pulls

Pulls for various inputs or parameters involved in the Standard Model global fit. Each pull (in units of σ) is computed by taking the square root of the difference between χ²_min obtained including or not including direct information on the quantity. This corresponds to consider Δχ²_X;min=χ²_{with data on X;min}- χ²_{without data X;min} as a random variable distributed with 1 degree of freedom, and reinterpret the probability of reaching the observed value in units of σ.

The presence of a plateau in the Rfit model for theoretical uncertainties may lead to a vanishing pull for some quantities even in cases where the predicted and observed values are not identical.

Many of the pulls presented in this plot are correlated [this is for instance the case for sin 2β and Br(B→τν)], so that the distribution of the corresponding p-values should not be expected to be flat
