Abstract

We establish refactorisation conditions between the subleading O8{O}_8-O8{O}_8 contributions to the inclusive BˉXsγ\bar B \to X_s \gamma decay suffering from endpoint divergences and prove a factorisation theorem for these contributions to all orders in the strong coupling constant. This allows for higher-order calculations of the resolved contributions and consistent summation of large logarithms, consequently reducing the recently found large-scale dependence in these contributions. We implement the concept of refactorisation in a heavy flavour application of SCET, which includes nonperturbative functions as additional subtlety not present in collider applications.
