Role of Four-Quark Operators in the Inclusive $\Lambda_b$ Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-01-27 v1

Abstract

We compute by QCD sum rules the matrix elements of the relevant four-quark operators appearing in the expression of the Λb\Lambda_b inclusive decay rates at the order 1/mb31/m_b^3. The results suggest that 1/mb31/m_b^3 corrections are not responsible of the observed difference between the lifetime of Λb\Lambda_b and BdB_d.
