Quark mass corrections to the Z boson decay rates.
The results of perturbative QCD evaluation of the ∼ mf/M Z contributions to ΓZ→bb and ΓZ→hadrons for the quark masses mf ≪ MZ are presented. The recent results due to the combination of renormalization group constraints and the results of several other calculations are independently confirmed by the direct computation. Some existing confusion in the literature is clarified. In addition, the cal...
متن کاملElectroweak Corrections to the Top Quark Decay
We have calculated the one-loop electroweak corrections to the decay t→ bW, including the counterterm for the CKM matrix elements Vtb. Previous calculations used an incorrect δVtb that led to a gauge dependent amplitude. However, since the contribution stemming from δVtb is small, those calculations only underestimate the width by roughly one part in 10. PACS number(s): 12.15.Lk, 11.10.Gh, 12.1...
متن کاملFinite Mass Corrections to Leptonic Decay Constants in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory
We calculate finite mass corrections to leptonic decay constants in HQET using QCD sum rules. The results are given to two–loop accuracy including renormalization group analysis. The contribution of unknown two–loop anomalous dimension matrix–elements is estimated. We find that the 1/mQ corrections to fP , the decay constant of a pseudoscalar meson, amount −(23 ± 4 ± 2)% for the B meson. The fi...
متن کاملTwo-loop QCD corrections to top quark decay
It is well-known that the top quark is the heaviest fermion in the Standard Model. An immediate consequence of that fact is its very short lifetime which turns out to be shorter than the characteristic timescale of nonperturbative QCD effects. Thanks to this feature, the top behaves almost like a free quark, which is really a unique situation in QCD. Moreover, the process t → bW is an absolutel...
متن کاملEvaluation of thermal corrections to false vacuum decay rates.
We examine the computation of the nucleation barrier used in the expression for false vacuum decay rates in finite temperature field theory. By a detailed analysis of the determinantal prefactor, we show that the correct bounce solution used in the computation of the nucleation barrier should not include loop corrections coming from the scalar field undergoing decay. Temperature corrections to ...
