Theoretical and Experimental Status of Inclusive Semileptonic Decays and Fits for |Vcb|

Abstract

We review recent experimental and theoretical developments in inclusive semileptonic B -> Xc l nu decays. In particular, we discuss the determination of |Vcb| and of the heavy quark masses through fits based on the Operator Product Expansion.
