Abstract

We calculate the leading preasymptotic correction to the inclusive width bcˉcsb\rightarrow \bar c c s (two massive quarks in the final state) due to the operator σH\vec \sigma \vec H. It is found that this correction tends to cancel the 1/Nc1/N_c part of the inclusive width calculated using naive factorization. The absolute value of the effect is of order 0.25. We also discuss how quark-hadron duality is realized in the inclusive decays.
