Complete analysis on QED corrections to $B_{q}\, \to\, \tau^+\, \tau^-$
Abstract
Motivated by a dynamical enhancement of the electromagnetic corrections by a power of in at next-to-leading order (NLO), we extend the QED factorization effects on the leptonic meson decays with light muon leptons to tauonic final states, , using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). This extension is necessary owing to the appearance of the large mass, which will lead to different power counting in SCET and also different results. We provide a complete NLO electromagnetic corrections to , which include hard functions and hard-collinear functions below the bottom quark mass scale . The power enhanced electromagnetic effects from hard-collinear contributions on discussed before also exist in . However the logarithm term arising from contributions of hard-collinear photon and lepton virtualities for is not large as it is in muon case due to the hard-collinear scale of mass, which lead to only approximately QED corrections to the branching fraction of compared with overall reduction about in .
