Abstract

We compare a non-factorizable charming-loop correction to an exclusive FCNC BB-decay given in terms of the 3-particle Bethe-Salpeter amplitude (3BS) of the BB-meson, 0qˉ(x)Gμν(z)b(0)B(p)\langle 0|\bar q(x)G_{\mu\nu}(z)b(0)|B(p)\rangle, with the corresponding correction to the BB-meson semileptonic form factor. In spite of certain similarities, these two corrections are shown to have substantial differences: The form factor correction is dominated by the collinear light-cone configuration of 3BS: zμ=uxμz_\mu= u x_\mu, 0<u<10 < u < 1, x2=0x^2=0. In contrast, the FCNC amplitude is dominated by a different configuration with non-collinear arguments: x2=0x^2=0, z2=0z^2=0, but (xz)20(x-z)^2\ne 0 (i.e., zμuxμz_\mu\ne u x_\mu).
