Inclusive B-decay spectra and IR renormalons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

I illustrate the role of infrared renormalons in computing inclusive B-decay spectra. I explain the relation between the leading ambiguity in the definition of Sudakov form factor \sim \exp(N\Lambda/M) and that of the pole mass, and show how these ambiguities cancel out between the perturbative and non-perturbative components of the b-quark distribution in the meson.
