Non-perturbative effects in semi-leptonic Bc decays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the impact of the soft degrees of freedom inside the Bc meson on its rate in the semi-leptonic decay Bc → X`ν̄` where X denotes light hadrons below the D0 threshold. In particular we identify contributions involving soft hadrons which are non-vanishing in the limit of massless leptons. These contributions become relevant for a measurement of the purely leptonic Bc decay rate, which due to helicity suppression involves a factor m` and thus is much smaller than the contributions involving soft hadrons.

Applicability of Perturbative QCD to B →
We examine the applicability of perturbative QCD to B meson decays into D mesons. We find that the perturbative QCD formalism, which includes Sudakov effects at intermediate energy scales, is applicable to the semi-leptonic decay B → Dlν, when the D meson recoils fast. Following this conclusion, we analyze the two-body non-leptonic decays B → Dπ and B → DD s. By comparing our predictions with e...
متن کاملNon-leptonic charmless Bc decays (and their search at LHCb)
We discuss the decay of Bc mesons into two light mesons (π,K (∗), η(′), ρ, ω, φ). All these decay channels come from a single type of diagram, namely tree annihilation. This allows us to derive extremely simple SU(3) relations among these processes. The size of annihilation contributions is an important issue in B physics, and we provide two different estimates in the case of non-leptonic charm...
متن کاملLeptonic and semi - leptonic B decays
We present results for the semi-leptonic and leptonic decays of B mesons. These non-perturbative matrix elements are important for constraining the CKM matrix. Results are presented for the pseudoscalar and vector decay constants, as well as flavour breaking ratios and heavy quark symmetry relations. We consider the chiral and momentum dependence of the semi-leptonic form factors of the decay B...
متن کاملRadiative and semi-leptonic B–meson decay spectra: Sudakov resummation beyond logarithmic accuracy and the pole mass
The inclusive spectra of radiative and semi-leptonic B–meson decays near the endpoint is computed taking into account renormalons in the Sudakov exponent (Dressed Gluon Exponentiation). In this framework we demonstrate the factorization of decay spectra into hard, jet and soft functions and discuss the universality of the latter two. Going beyond perturbation theory the soft function, which we ...
متن کاملEffects of Perturbative Colour Interference on WW → 6-Jet Distributions
At LEP II it is hoped to measure the W mass to an accuracy of around 40 MeV. This will require direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both the semi-leptonic and hadronic decay channels. Final state perturbative reconnection effects in hadronic decays are considered and their effect on 6-jet distributions and the reconstructed mass. The perturbative mass shift is f...
