Abstract

The rare inclusive decay BˉXsγ\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma is an important probe of physics beyond the standard model. The largest uncertainty on the decay rate and CP asymmetry comes from operators that appear at order 1/mb1/m_b in the heavy quark expansion. One of the three leading contributions in the heavy quark expansion, Q1qQ7γQ_1^q-Q_{7\gamma} is described by a non-local function whose moments are related to HQET parameters. We use recent progress in our knowledge of these parameters to better constrain their contributions to the total rate and CP asymmetry.
