Abstract

We work out a specific class of three-loop diagrams (of order αs2\alpha_s^2) contributing to the decay amplitude for bsγb \to s \gamma associated with the current-current operators O1O_1 and O2O_2 at the physical value of the charm-quark mass mcm_c. For many of the considered diagrams we were able to solve the master integrals using differential equations in the canonical form. For some diagrams we did not find a transformation to canonical form and therefore calculated the corresponding master integral directly as an expansion around z=mc2/mb2=0z=m_c^2/m_b^2=0, retaining power terms up to z10z^{10} and keeping the accompanying log(z)\log(z) terms to all powers. The results for the sum of all considered diagrams are given in tabular form, while contributions of individual diagrams (or combinations thereof) are given in electronic form.
