نویسنده
چکیده
Within the standard model, we calculate the radiative B −→ K⋆γ decay rate based on a Bethe-Salpeter description for the meson wave functions and the hadronic matrix elements. With a reasonable choice of parameters the branching ratio BR(B −→ K⋆γ) is found to be (3.8 − 4.6) × 10−5, which is in agreement with the CLEO experimental data. We also find with mb = 5.12 GeV the ratio R ≡ Γ(B −→ K⋆γ)/Γ(b −→ sγ) = (10 − 12)%, which can be slightly larger if a smaller mb is chosen. In this approach, the light degrees of freedom in mesons are treated as light constituent quarks with relativistic kinematics, and the form factors in the decay amplitude are essentially determined by the relativistic kenematics and the overlap of wave functions of the initial and final state mesons. Due to the large recoil momentum of the K⋆ meson at the B meson rest frame, the form factors are sensitive to the overlap integral of the meson wave functions, which are determined dynamically by a QCDmotivated inter-quark potential. Relativistic effects on the meson wave functions mainly due to the Breit-Fermi interactions are found to be significant in determining the decay rate.

We discuss a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B → K * γ and B → ργ based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. We present a factorization formula for the treatment of B → V γ matrix elements involving charm (or up-quark) loops, which contribute at leading power in ΛQCD/mB to the decay amplitude. Annihilation topologies are power suppressed, but still calcu...

We consider an inflationary model in the hidden-sector broken supergravity with an effectively large cutoff. The inflaton decay into right-handed neutrinos naturally causes the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe with a reheating temperature low enough to avoid the gravitino overproduction. We emphasize that all the phenomenological requirements from cosmology and particle physics are sat...

We consider the issue of determining the D0-D̄0 width difference ∆ΓD experimentally. The current situation is reviewed and suggestions for further study are given. We propose a number of D0 decay modes in addition to those studied in the recent E791, FOCUS and BELLE lifetime determination experiments. Then we address prospects for determining CF CDS strong phase differences, like δKπ which appea...

The decays B+ → D∗+ s γ and B+ → D∗+γ can be used for an extraction of |Vub|. When the b and c quarks are nearly degenerate the rate for these modes can be determined in terms of other observed rates, namely BB mixing and D → Dγ decay. To this end we introduce a novel application of heavy quark and flavor symmetries. Although somewhat unrealistic, this limit provides us with a first estimate of...
