Book excerpt: I present preliminary results of the measurement of the hadronic mass spectrum and its first three spectral moments in inclusive charmless semileptonic B-meson decays. The truncated hadronic mass moments are used for the first determination of the b-quark mass and the nonperturbative parameters [mu][pi]2 and [rho]D3 in this B-meson decay channel. The study is based on 383 x 106 B$\bar{B}$ decays collected with the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings, located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The first, second central, and third central hadronic mass moment with a cut on the hadronic mass mX2 6.4GeV2 and the lepton momentum p* 1 GeV are measured to be: M1 = (1.96 ± 0.34stat ± 0.53syst) GeV2; U2 = (1.92 ± 0.59stat ± 0.87syst) GeV4; and U3 = (1.79 ± 0.62stat ± 0.78syst) GeV6; with correlation coefficients [rho]12 = 0.99, [rho]23 = 0.94, and [rho]13 = 0.88, respectively. Using Heavy Quark Effective Theory-based predictions in the kinetic scheme we extract: mb = (4.60 ± 0.13stat ± 0.19syst ± 0.10theo GeV); [mu][pi]2 = (0.40 ± 0.14stat ± 0.20syst ± 0.04theo) GeV2; [rho]D3 = (0.10 ± 0.02stat ± 0.02syst ± 0.07theo) GeV3; at [mu] = 1 GeV, with correlation coefficients [rho]mb[mu][pi]2 = -0.99, [rho] [mu][pi]2[rho]D3 = 0.57, and [rho]mb[rho]D3 = -0.59. The results are in good agreement with earlier determinations in inclusive charmed semileptonic and radiative penguin B-meson decays and have a similar accuracy. Through the comparison of this result to those obtained in other channels, this provides a test of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory predictions that are used for the determination of.
