Lifetime-difference pattern of heavy hadrons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The preasymptotic effects originating from the four-quark operators are disentangled from the other contributions by considering appropriate combinations of inclusive decay rates. Under the assumption of the isospin and heavy-quark symmetry, a set of relations connecting charmed and beauty decays is obtained without invoking specific models. The results are compared with other approaches and confronted with experiment.
