Abstract

In this work, nontrivial analytic structure of the quark propagator is discussed for BB-meson inclusive decays. Attributed to invalidity of the standard K\"{a}ll\'{e}n-Lehman spectral representation, complex conjugate poles alter the evaluation of decay rates, which lead to violation of quark-hadron duality. As phenomenological observables, widths in BXcνˉB\to X_c\ell\bar{\nu} decay as well as the lifetime of the Bd0B_d^0 meson are discussed. In the presence of the mentioned nonanalytical contributions, the possibility for resolving the Vcb|V_{cb}| puzzle is addressed. It is demonstrated that there exists a parameter region, which explains Vcb|V_{cb}| and Bd0B_d^0-meson lifetime simultaneously within 1σ\sigma via the complex conjugate poles from a charm quark.
