Failure of Local Duality in Inclusive Non - Leptonic Heavy Flavour Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
We argue that there is strong experimental evidence in the data of band c-decays that the pattern of power suppressed corrections predicted by the short distance expansion, the heavy quark effective theory and the assumption of local duality is not correct for the non-leptonic inclusive widths. The data indicate instead the presence of 1/m corrections that should be absent in the above theoretical framework. These corrections can be simply described by replacing the heavy quark mass by the mass of the decaying hadron in the m 5 factor in front of all the non-leptonic widths.

متن کاملNon leptonic heavy hadron decays and local duality
We discuss local duality for weak non leptonic B and Λb decays in themb → ∞ limit under the hypothesis of factorization and in the Shifman-Voloshin limit. We show that, under these hypotheses, local duality holds for the first two terms in the 1/mb expansion and at the order αs in the perturbative expansion. The possible relevance of these results for the operator product expansion evaluation o...

متن کاملNon-leptonic Decays of Beauty Hadrons – from Phenomenology to Theory
In the last few years considerable progress has been achieved in our understanding of the decays of heavy flavour hadrons. One can now calculate inclusive transition rates in QCD proper through an expansion in inverse powers of the heavy flavour quark mass without recourse to phenomenological assumptions. The non-perturbative contributions are treated systematically in this way; they are found ...
