Semileptonic Decays of B s ** Mesons into D s 1 and D s 2 * in HQET

Spectroscopy of B s and D s Mesons ∗

There are several ways of approximating heavy quarks in lattice QCD calculations, including Nonrelativistic QCD [1–3] (NRQCD), the static approximation [4,5], and the approach developed at Fermilab [6] which takes the uncorrected Wilson action as its leading approximation but adds correction operators which end up resembling those of NRQCD rather than those of the standard Symanzik improvement ...

Measurement of the semileptonic charge asymmetry using B 0 s → D s μ X decays

Suppressed decays of D(s)(+) mesons to two pseudoscalar mesons.

Using data collected near the D{s}{*+}D{s}{-} peak production energy E_{cm}=4170 MeV by the CLEO-c detector, we study the decays of D{s}{+} mesons to two pseudoscalar mesons. We report on searches for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed D{s}{+} decay modes K{+}eta, K{+}eta', pi{+}K{S}{0}, K{+}pi{0}, and the isospin-forbidden decay mode D{s}{+}-->pi{+}pi{0}. We normalize with respect to the Cabibbo-fa...

Inclusive decay of B mesons into Ds or D ∗ s

We compute the inclusive decay rates b → D − s (D * − s)c including lowest order QCD corrections on the quark legs, and compare with existing CLEO data. Unlike the short distance QCD corrections, that are of higher order, these corrections are of order α s. In the on-shell renormalization scheme and for α s (m b) ∼ = 0.2 we find a correction of −10 % to the inclusive rate computed using factori...
