Factorization of multiparticle contributions to amplitudes of B-meson weak decays
Abstract
We show that multiparticle contributions to amplitudes of weak decays of the generic topology (heavy quark hits some intermediate point of the propagator line joining the end-points from which momenta and are emitted) is given in the heavy quark limit and at the leading order in by the convolution of (i) hard kernel composed of highly virtual propagators of light degrees of freedom and (ii) the -meson multiparticle wave function, , in a {\it double-collinear} light-cone configuration: the coordinates are ordered and aligned along the light-like 4-vector , , , while the coordinates are ordered and aligned along the light-like 4-vector , , , . Corrections to this factorization formula are suppressed by powers of .
