Inclusive radiative decays $B_c\to\gamma u\bar{d}$ are considered. It is shown that photon emission allows one to bypass the chiral suppression and leads the increase of the branching fraction by about four orders of magnitude. The…

The parton model for semileptonic B meson decays is studied with special attention to the decay distributions. We find that the spectra show dramatic variations when we introduce cuts on the hadronic energy or invariant mass of hadrons.…
We re-examine the possibility to measure the photon polarization in $B \to K^*\gamma$ decays, via decays in which the photon subsequently undergoes nuclear conversion to a lepton pair. We obtain compact expressions for the full…
In $B \to X_s \gamma $ there are perturbative $QCD$ corrections at order $\alpha_s$ not only to the single quark line process $ b \to s \gamma$ but also coming from a set of diagrams where the weak interaction vertex involves a gluon which…
Part of the order $\alpha_s$ correction to the inclusive $B\to X_s\,\gamma$ photon spectrum is enhanced by $\log(m_b^2/m_s^2)$. We discuss its origin and sum the corrections proportional to $[\alpha_s\log(m_b^2/\mu^2)]^n$ to all orders.…
We point out that applying the photon energy cut significantly modifies the moments of energy spectrum in B->X_s+gamma decays, with a certain class of effects not accounted for in the mostly used OPE expressions. This leads to a systematic…
The value of the $b$-baryon polarization can be extracted from inclusive data at LEP with better than 10\% precision based on current statistics. We present a new variable by which to measure the polarization, which is the ratio of the…
The photon spectrum in B->X_{s,d} \gamma decay, where X_s(d) is any strange (non-strange) hadronic state, is studied using data samples of $e^+e^- \rightarrow \Upsilon(4S) \to B B-bar decays collected by the Babar and Belle experiments.…
