Heavy flavor decays, OPE and duality in two-dimensional ’t Hooft model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ’t Hooft model (two-dimensional QCD in the limit of large number of colors) is used as a laboratory for exploring various aspects of the heavy quark expansions in the nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of heavy flavors. We perform a complete operator analysis and construct the operator product expansion (OPE) up to termsO(1/mQ), inclusively. The OPE-based predictions for the inclusive widths are then confronted with the “phenomenological” results, obtained by summation of all open exclusive decay channels, one by one. The summation is carried out analytically, by virtue of the ’t Hooft equation. The two alternative expressions for the total widths match. We comment on the recent claim in the literature of a 1/mQ correction to the total width which would be in clear conflict with the OPE result. The issue of duality violations both in the simplified setting of the ’t Hooft model and in actual QCD is discussed. The amplitude of oscillating terms is estimated.

Explicit quark-hadron duality in the limit of heavy quark mass is studied using the ’t Hooft model, where both partonic and hadronic amplitudes may be computed exactly. Results for weak decays of heavy mesons are presented for both standard spectator decays, where the duality limit is convincingly approached, and annihilation decays of the valence quark-antiquark pair, where the approach to asy...
متن کاملExplicit Quark - hadron Duality in Heavy - light Meson Weak Decays in the ’ t Hooft Model
We compute the nonleptonic weak decay width of a heavy-light meson in 1+1 spacetime dimensions with a large number of QCD colors (the ’t Hooft model) as a function of the heavy quark mass. In this limit, QCD is exactly soluble, and decay modes are dominated by two-particle final states. We compare the results to the tree-level partonic decay width of the heavy quark in order to test quark-hadro...

متن کاملη-Meson Decays and Strong UA(1) Breaking in the Three-Flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model
We study the η → γγ and η → πγγ decays using an extended three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that includes the ’t Hooft instanton induced interaction. We find that the η-meson mass, the η → γγ decay width and the η → πγγ decay width are in good agreement with the experimental values when the UA(1) breaking is strong and the flavor SU(3) singlet-octet mixing angle θ is about zero. The effects ...
