Abstract: We propose a method of extracting the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vcb| from two-body hadronic decay processes of BoDK with precisely determined form factors of B meson semi-leptonic decays. The amplitude which does not include the effect of hadronic final state interactions can be theoretically evaluated by using factorization and form factors of semi-leptonic B decays. We can obtain all the amplitudes in an isospin relation including the effect of hadronic final state interactions as well as |Vcb| using the experimental data of branching fractions of these three processes with a truncation of the states which contribute to the hadronic final state interactions. The extracted value of |Vcb| is (37pm6)imes10−3. The decay processes of BoDK∗ and BoD∗K can also be used in the same way and the extracted values of |Vcb| are (41pm7)imes10−3 and (42pm9)imes10−3, respectively. This method becomes possible by virtue of recent precise determinations of the form factors of semi-leptonic B decays. The uncertainties of |Vcb| by this method are expected to be reduced by the results of future B-factory experiments and lattice calculations.
