Abstract
Over a large fraction of phase space a combination of an operator product and heavy quark expansions effectively turn the decay into a ``short distance'' process, i.e., one in which the weak and electromagnetic interactions occur through single local operators. These processes have an underlying W-exchange quark diagram topology and are therefore Cabibbo allowed but suppressed by combinatoric factors and short distance QCD corrections. Our technique allows a clearer exploration of these effects. For the decay one must use a non-relativistic (NRQCD) expansion, in addition to an operator product expansion and a heavy quark effective theory expansion. We estimate the decay rates for , , and .
