Soft-Collinear Messengers: A New Mode in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is argued that soft-collinear effective theory for processes involving both soft and collinear partons, such as exclusive B-meson decays, should include a new mode in addition to soft and collinear ones. These “soft-collinear messengers” can interact with both soft and collinear particles without taking them far off-shell. They thus can communicate between the soft and collinear sectors of the theory. The relevance of the new mode is demonstrated with an explicit example, and the formalism incorporating the corresponding quark and gluon fields into the effective Lagrangian is developed.

External Operators and Anomalous Dimensions in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory
It has recently been argued that soft-collinear effective theory for processes involving both soft and collinear partons contains a new soft-collinear mode, which can communicate between the soft and collinear sectors of the theory. The formalism incorporating the corresponding fields into the effective Lagrangian is extended to include external current and four-quark operators relevant to weak...
متن کاملFactorization of heavy-to-light form factors in soft-collinear effective theory
Heavy-to-light transition form factors at large recoil energy of the light meson have been conjectured to obey a factorization formula, where the set of form factors is reduced to a smaller number of universal form factors up to hard-scattering corrections. In this paper we extend our previous investigation of heavy-to-light currents in soft-collinear effective theory to final states with invar...
متن کاملFactorization and the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory: Color-Suppressed Decays
We discuss the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) and kinematic expansions in B-decays, focusing on recent results for color suppressed B → D(∗)X decays. In particular we discuss model independent predictions for B̄ → Dπ and B̄ → D∗0π0, and update the comparison using new experimental data. We show why HQET alone is insufficient to give these results. SCET predictions are also reviewed for ot...
متن کاملSoft-Collinear Factorization in Effective Field Theory
The factorization of soft and ultrasoft gluons from collinear particles is shown at the level of operators in an effective field theory. Exclusive hadronic factorization and inclusive partonic factorization follow as special cases. The leading order Lagrangian is derived using power counting and gauge invariance in the effective theory. Several species of gluons are required, and softer gluons ...
متن کاملSoft Collinear Effective Theory
In this talk I review soft collinear effective theory. After a discussion of the formalism and properties of the effective field theory, I turn to phenomenology. I present results on colorsuppressed B → D decays, and on the Υ radiative decay spectrum.
