Nonfactorizable charming loops in exclusive FCNC $B$ decays
Abstract
We compare (i) nonfactorizable charm-quark loops in exclusive FCNC B-decays and (ii) three-particle contributions to the amplitude of semileptonic B-decay. Both amplitudes are given in the heavy-quark limit, , by a convolution of a hard kernel and a three-particle wave function of the -meson, . An essential difference between the two amplitudes is that the amplitude of semileptonic -decay involves this 3-particle wave function in a collinear light-cone configuration, whereas the amplitude of nonfactorizable charm in FCNC -decays involves this 3-particle wave function in a double collinear light-cone configuration.
