NLL Corrections for B-Meson Radiative Exclusive Decays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive B → Kγ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff parameter of the hadronic model. The calculated corrections increase the predicted branching ratio by about 10%, but it remains in agreement with the experimental value.

Beyond “naive” factorization in exclusive radiative B–meson decays
We apply the QCD factorization approach to exclusive, radiative B meson decays in the region of small invariant photon mass. We calculate factorizable and nonfactorizable corrections to leading order in the heavy quark mass expansion and nextto-leading order in the strong coupling constant. Phenomenological consequences for the B → K∗γ decay rate and the B → K∗`+`− forward-backward asymmetry ar...

We discuss the B-meson light-cone wavefunction relevant for QCD factorization approach for exclusive B-meson decays. We derive the operator product expansion for the B-meson light-cone wavefunction, taking into account the local composite operators of dimension less than 6 and calculating the radiative corrections at order αs for the corresponding Wilson coefficients. The result embodies peculi...

We discuss a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B → K * γ and B → ργ based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. We present a factorization formula for the treatment of B → V γ matrix elements involving charm (or up-quark) loops, which contribute at leading power in ΛQCD/mB to the decay amplitude. Annihilation topologies are power suppressed, but still calcu...

QCD factorization for exclusive non-leptonic B-meson decays: General arguments and the case of heavy–light final states Abstract We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates elements of the naive factorization approach and the hard-scattering approach , but allow...
متن کاملOPE for B-meson distribution amplitude and dimension-5 HQET operators
The B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) is defined as the matrix element of a quark-antiquark bilocal light-cone operator in the heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) and is a building block of QCD factorization formula for exclusive B-meson decays. When the corresponding bilocal HQET operator has a light-like distance t between the quark and antiquark fields, the scale ∼ 1/t separat...
