Here we are trying to relax the basic cuts.

ConclusionsConclusions

• Exclusive charmless semileptonic B decays can be studied on the recoil already with 120 fb-1

• Few events expected but very low background and crossfeed

• Exp. systematic uncertainties are ~one order of magnitude lower than statistical ones

• First results could be ready for summer conferences

• Same technique is very promising also for charm semileptonic decays (B(D,D*,D**)l)
