Counting contact terms in $B\to V\gamma$ decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-23 v1

Abstract

We clarify the origin and cancellation of contact terms in the weak annihilation amplitudes contributing to BVγB\to V \gamma. It is demonstrated that the photon emission from the final-state quarks vanishes in the chiral limit of massless quarks. The contact terms in the QCD light-cone sum rule evaluation of the weak annihilation amplitudes are also discussed.
