====== TTP97-24 |V_cb| from semileptonic B decays with two-loop QCD accuracy ====== Recent progress in calculating ${\cal O}(\alpha _s ^2)$ corrections to inclusive and exclusive semileptonic $b \to c$ transitions is reviewed. The impact of these corrections on the $|V_{cb}|$\ determination from both inclusive and exclusive $B$ decays is discussed. |**Andrzej Czarnecki and Kirill Melnikov** | |** Proceedings of the fifth conference ``Beyond the Standard Model'', May 1997, Balholm, Norway; published by the American Institute of Physics, AIP conference proceedings 415, 1997. ** | | {{preprints:1997:ttp97-24.pdf|PDF}} {{preprints:1997:ttp97-24.ps|PostScript}} [[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9710307|arXiv]] | | |
