Symmetry-breaking corrections to heavy-to-light B meson form factors at large recoil
Recently it has been shown that symmetries emerging in the heavy quark and large recoil energy limit impose various relations on form factors that parametrise the decay of B mesons into light mesons. These symmetries are broken by perturbative effects. In this paper we discuss the structure of heavy-to-light form factors including such effects and compute symmetry-breaking corrections to first ...
متن کاملSemileptonic B Decays to Excited Charm Mesons
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to the lightest excited charmed mesons are investigated at order ΛQCD/mQ in the heavy quark effective theory. At zero recoil, ΛQCD/mQ corrections to the matrix elements of the weak currents can be written in terms of the leading Isgur-Wise functions for the corresponding transition and meson mass splittings. The differential decay rates are predicted, including Λ...
متن کاملHeavy-to-light meson form factors at large recoil
Heavy-to-light meson form factors at large recoil can be described using the same techniques as for hard exclusive processes involving only light hadrons. Two competing mechanisms appear in the large-recoil regime, describing so-called “soft-overlap” and “hard-scattering” components of the form factors. It is shown how existing experimental data from B and D decays constrain the relative size o...
متن کاملFactorization of heavy-to-light form factors in soft-collinear effective theory
Heavy-to-light transition form factors at large recoil energy of the light meson have been conjectured to obey a factorization formula, where the set of form factors is reduced to a smaller number of universal form factors up to hard-scattering corrections. In this paper we extend our previous investigation of heavy-to-light currents in soft-collinear effective theory to final states with invar...
متن کاملSymmetry Relations for Heavy-to-light Meson Form Factors at Large Recoil *
The description of large-recoil heavy-to-light meson form factors is reviewed in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory. At leading power in the heavy-quark expansion, three classes of approximate symmetry relations arise. The relations are compared to experimental data for D → K * and Ds → φ form factors, and to light-cone QCD sum rule predictions for B → π and B → ρ form factors. Im...
