Subleading Jet Functions in Inclusive B Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
The contribution of subleading jet functions to inclusive decay distributions of B mesons are derived from a systematic two-step matching of QCD current correlators onto soft collinear and heavy quark effective theory. Focusing on the tree level matching of QCD onto soft collinear effective theory, the subleading jet functions are defined to all orders in αs(μi) (with μ 2 i ∼ mbΛQCD) and are calculated explicitly at first order in αs(μi). We present explicit expressions for the decay rates of B̄ → Xu l ν̄ and the Q7γ − Q7γ contribution to B̄ → Xs γ, where the subleading jet functions are multiplied by a tree level hard function and appear in a convolution with the leading order shape function. Together with the recent two loop calculation of the leading order hard function for B̄ → Xu l ν̄, this paper will allow for a more precise description of inclusive B decays in the end point region.

Semi-inclusive hadronic B decays in the endpoint region
We consider in the soft-collinear effective theory semi-inclusive hadronic B decays, B → XM , in which an energetic light meson M near the endpoint recoils against an inclusive jet X. We focus on a subset of decays where the spectator quark from the B meson ends up in the jet. The branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries are computed to next-to-leading order accuracy in αs and to leading orde...
متن کاملLight - cone distribution functions for B decays at subleading order in 1 / m b
We construct the higher twist structure functions that describe inclusive b hadron decays in regions of phase space where the hadronic decay products carry high energy but have low invariant mass. We show that, for B meson decays, there are four new non-vanishing matrix elements of non-local operators. We show that to subleading twist these decays are parametrized in terms of four functions. We...

The contributions of subleading shape functions to inclusive decay distributions of B mesons are derived from a systematic two-step matching of QCD current correlators onto soft-collinear and heavy-quark effective theory. At tree-level, the results can be expressed in terms of forward matrix elements of bi-local light-cone operators. Fourquark operators, which arise at O(αs), are included. Our ...

It has recently been pointed out that a new class of subleading shape functions involving B-meson matrix elements of non-local four-quark operators contributes at order ΛQCD/mb to B̄ → Xu l ν̄ decay distributions in the endpoint region. The corresponding functions fu(ω) and fv(ω) are estimated using the vacuum-insertion approximation. A numerical analysis of various B̄ → Xu l ν̄ decay spectra sugge...
