Long - distance effects in B → V γ radiative weak decays
A systematic approach to long-distance effects in exclusive radiative weak B decays is presented, based on a combination of the heavy quark limit with perturbative QCD. The dominant long-distance effects, connected with weak annihilation and W-exchange topologies, can be computed in a model-independent way using experimental data on B radiative leptonic decays. Nonfactorizable corrections vanis...
متن کاملRadiative Weak Annihilation Decays
A class of meson decay modes sensitive to only one quark topology at leading GF order (annihilation of valence quarks through a W ) is described. No experimental observations, nor even upper limits, have been reported for these decays. This work presents a simpleminded (order-of-magnitude) calculation of their branching fractions, and compares to results of previous calculations where available...
متن کاملSU(3) Analysis of Annihilation Contributions and CP Violating Relations in B → PP Decays
Several methods proposed to measure the angle γ in the KM unitarity triangle assumed that the tree contribution to B− → π−K̄0 is purely due to annihilation contributions and is negligibly small. This assumption has to be tested in order to have a correct interpretation of the experimental data. In this paper we show that using SU(3) symmetry, the smallness of the tree contribution can be tested ...
متن کاملNonleptonic Cabibbo favoured B - decays and CP - asymmetries for Charmed final hadron states in Isgur and Wise theory 1
The Cabibbo allowed non-leptonic B-decays in two hadrons are studied, within the factorization hypothesis , in the framework of Isgur and Wise theory for the matrix elements of the ∆B = −∆C = ±1 weak currents. The SU (2) HF symmetry relates |∆B| = 1 to |∆C| = 1 currents, which have been measured in the semileptonic strange decays of charmed particles. By assuming colour screening and allowing f...
متن کاملNonresonant Three-body Decays of D and B Mesons
Nonresonant three-body decays of D and B mesons are studied. It is pointed out that if heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT) is applied to the heavy-light strong and weak vertices and assumed to be valid over the whole kinematic region, then the predicted decay rates for nonresonant charmless 3-body B decays will be too large and especially B− → π−K+K− greatly exceeds the current expe...

A careful investigation of 1/mb power suppressed effects is crucial for enhancing predictive power of the QCD factorization approach to charmless B decays. It is instructive to systematically investigate the 1/mb effects from soft and hard gluon exchanges, in addition to annihilation topology in the charmless B decays. In this work we try to give a systematic discussion on impact of such soft a...
