Light-Quark Decays in Heavy Hadrons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-10-14 v2

Abstract

We consider weak decays of heavy hadrons (bottom and charmed) where the heavy quark acts as a spectator. Theses decays are heavily phase-space suppressed but may become experimentally accessible in the near future. These decays are interesting as a QCD laboratory to study the behaviour of the light quarks in the colour-background field of the heavy spectator.
