On Inclusive B Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
I briefly review the description of inclusive heavy hadron decays based on the inverse heavy quark mass expansion. In particular, I consider the transition B → Xulν and the problem of extracting Vub, mainly as far as the separation from the background represented by b → c modes is concerned. I also discuss how to obtain complementary information from the decay mode B → Xsγ.

متن کاملMeasurements of Exclusive B → Xclν̄l Decays and |Vcb| at BABAR
The study of B → Xclν̄l decays (l = e or μ and charge conjugate modes are implied) is aimed at understanding the dynamics of b-quark semileptonic decays and to determine the relevant Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements [1]. The coupling strength of the weak b → c transition is proportional to |Vcb|, which has been measured in both inclusive semileptonic B decays [2] and in the exclusive tr...

The semi-inclusive charmless hadronic decays B → K(K)X , where X is a hadronic recoil system containing no charmed and strange particles, are useful for studying direct CP violation and determining the weak phase γ . Direct CP violation can also be studied with exclusive or inclusive charmless hadronic B decays. Although theoretical uncertainties in inclusive decays may be small, it is experime...
متن کاملPresent Status of Inclusive Rare B Decays
We give a status report on inclusive rare B decays, highlighting recent developments and open problems. We focus on the decay modes B → Xs,dγ, B → Xsll and B → Xsνν̄ and on their role in the search for new physics. Most of the inclusive rare B decays are important modes of flavour physics due to the small hadronic uncertainties. They can be regarded as laboratories to search for new physics. We ...
متن کاملBound on V + A admixture in the b → c current from inclusive vs . exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons
Bound on V + A admixture in the b → c current from inclusive vs. exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons. Abstract An admixture of a right-handed b → c current in the semileptonic weak decays of the B mesons would give a significantly different contribution to the inclusive rate of the decays B → l ν X c as compared to the exclusive decay B → D * l ν at zero recoil. Thus a difference in the v...
متن کاملSemi-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...
