Abstract
A measurement of the inclusive charmless semileptonic branching fracti on of beauty hadrons, b --> X-u l nu, has been performed using almost two million hadronic Z decays collected by the L3 experiment at LEP, y ielding the result: Br(b --> X-u l nu) = (3.3 +/- 1.0 +/- 1.7) x 10(-3 ). The first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The modulus of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element V-ub extra cted from this measurement is: \V-ub\ = (6.0(-1.0-1.9)(+0.8+1.4) +/- 0 .2) x 10(-3), where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and theoretical, respectively.
