A New Formulation for HQET

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We proposed a new formulation for heavy quark effective theory (HQET), whose Lagrangian is hermitian and has a manifest reparameterization invariance. As an application, we calculated the semileptonic and nonleptonic inclusive heavy hadron decay rates up to second order mass corrections and found that there are no kinetic energy correction terms.
