$B\to P$ and $B\to V$ Form Factors from $B$-Meson Light-Cone Sum Rules beyond Leading Twist
Abstract
We provide results for the full set of form factors describing semileptonic -meson transitions to pseudoscalar mesons , , and vector mesons , , . Our results are obtained within the framework of QCD Light-Cone Sum Rules with -meson distribution amplitudes. We recalculate and confirm the results for the leading-twist two-particle contributions in the literature. Furthermore, we calculate and provide new expressions for the two-particle contributions up to twist four. Following new developments for the three-particle distribution amplitudes, we calculate and provide new results for the complete set of three-particle contributions up to twist four. The form factors are computed numerically at several phase space points using up-to-date input parameters, including correlations across phase space points and form factors. We use a model ansatz for all contributing -meson distribution amplitudes that is self-consistent up to twist-four accuracy. We find that the higher-twist two-particle contributions have a substantial impact on the results, and dominate over the three-particle contributions. Our numerical results, including correlations, are provided as machine-readable ancillary files. We discuss the qualitative phenomenological impact of our results on the present anomalies.
