High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

The B-meson wavefunction has been studied with the help of the vacuum-to-meson matrix element of the nonlocal operators in the heavy quark effective theory. In order to obtain the Wandzura-Wilczek-type B-meson wavefunction, we solve the equations which are derived from the equation of motion of the light spectator quark in the B meson by using two different assumptions. Under the condition that ω0=2Λˉ\omega_0=2\bar{\Lambda}, the solutions for the B-meson wavefunction in this paper agree well with the one obtained by directly taking the heavy quark limit mbm_b\to\infty. Our results show that the equation of motion of the light spectator quark in the B meson can impose a strong constraint on the B-meson wavefunctions Ψ±(ω,z2)\Psi_\pm(\omega,z^2). Based on the obtained results, we claim that both its distribution amplitudes ϕB(ω)\phi_B(\omega) and ϕˉB(ω)\bar\phi_B(\omega) are important for calculating the B meson decays.
