Inclusive semileptonic B decays from QCD with NLO accuracy for power suppressed terms

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-03-30 v1

Abstract

We present the results of a calculation of the perturbative QCD corrections for the semileptonic inclusive width of a heavy flavored meson. Within the Heavy Quark Expansion we analytically compute the QCD correction to the coefficient of power suppressed contribution of the chromo-magnetic operator in the limit of vanishing mass of the final state quark. The important phenomenological applications are decays of bottom mesons, and to the less extend, charmed mesons.
