Subleading Shape Functions and the Determination
نویسنده
چکیده
It is argued that the dominant subleading shape-function contributions to the endpoint region of the charged-lepton energy spectrum in B → Xu l ν decays can be related in a model-independent way to an integral over the B → Xsγ photon spectrum. The square root of the fraction of B → Xu l ν events with chargedlepton energy above E0 = 2.2GeV can be calculated with a residual theoretical uncertainty from subleading shape-function effects that is safely below the 10% level. These effects have therefore a minor impact on the determination of |Vub|.

Keith S.M. Lee* California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA (Received 26 February 2008; published 7 July 2008) We derive a class of formulae relating moments of B ! Xu‘ to B ! Xs in the shape-function region, where mX mb QCD. We also derive an analogous class of formulae involving the decay B ! Xs‘þ‘ . These results incorporate QCD=mb power corrections, but are independe...

A leading-power factorization formula for weight functions relating the B̄ → Xsγ photon spectrum to arbitrary partial decay rates in B̄ → Xu lν̄ is derived. These weight functions are independent of the hadronic shape function and allow for the determination of |Vub| in a model-independent way. We calculate the weight function in renormalizationgroup improved perturbation theory to complete next-t...
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 ...

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 ca...
