Abstract

We present an independent calculation of O(αs){\cal{O}}(\alpha_s) matrix elements of the QCD penguin operators for the decays BˉXs(d)γ\bar{B}\to X_{s(d)}\gamma. The Mellin-Barnes representation technique is applied for the systematic numerical evaluation of involved two-loop diagrams. The numerical effect of the calculated contributions is confirmed to be of order of 1%. We also present an updated numerical analysis for BˉXs(d)γ\bar{B}\to X_{s(d)}\gamma decay rates.
