Abstract

The most general QCD next-to-leading anomalous-dimension matrix of all possible four-fermion, dimension-six ΔF=2\Delta F=2 operators is computed. The results of this calculation can be used in many phenomenological applications, among which the most important are those related to theoretical predictions of K0Kˉ0K^0-\bar{K}^0 and B0Bˉ0B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing in several extension of the Standard Model (Supersymmetry, left-right symmetric, multi-Higgs models, etc.), to estimates of the Bs0B^0_s--Bˉs0\bar B^0_s width difference, ΔΓBs\Delta \Gamma_{B_s}, and to the calculation of the O(1/mb3)O(1/m_b^3) corrections for inclusive b-hadron decay rates.
