Light-cone distribution functions for B decays at subleading order in 1Õmb

چکیده
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 nonvanishing matrix elements of nonlocal operators. We show that to subleading twist these decays are parametrized in terms of four functions. We compute the tree-level matching for a general heavy-to-light current and apply it to B̄→Xsg . Using a simple model for these functions we estimate the subleading twist contributions to this decay.

In this paper we investigate the subleading twist corrections to the photon energy spectrum in the decay Λb → Xsγ and to the lepton energy spectrum in Λb → Xulν̄l. As a first step we rederive the matching coefficients of the subleading twist using a much simpler method. Parametrizing the matrix elements for Λb and using reparametrization invariance, we show that the energy spectra close to the e...
متن کاملSubleading Shape Functions in Inclusive B Decays
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 ...

متن کاملReparametrization Invariance in Inclusive Decays of Heavy Hadrons
Reparametrization invariance is the invariance of the heavy mass limit under small changes of the heavy-quark four velocity. We discuss the implications of this invariance for non-local light cone operators, the matrix elements of which are relevant for the leading and subleading shape functions describing differential rates for inclusive heavy-to-light transitions.
