We study the new structures appearing due to noncommutative effects in the inclusive decay b -> s \gamma^*, in the standard model. We present the corresponding coefficients which carries the space-space and space-time noncommutativity.
In this talk I briefly review the current status of the theory of the inclusive $B$ decays: $\bar B\to X_c\, \ell\,\bar\nu_\ell$, $\bar B\to X_u\, \ell\,\bar\nu_\ell$, and $\bar B\to X_s\,\gamma$. I try to answer three questions: what is…

We reinvestigate the leading QCD corrections to the radiative decay $b \to s \gamma for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Although the major contributions to the corrections originate from the running of the effective…
We find some errors in previous calculation of leading log QCD corrections to $b \to s\gamma $ decay, which include corrections from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$ in addition to corrections from $M_{W}$ to $m_b$. The inclusive decay rate is found to…
Uncertainties in the theoretical prediction for the inclusive $\bar B\to X_s\gamma$ decay rate are examined. Certain nonperturbative effects involving a virtual $c\bar c$ loop, which are calculable using the operator product expansion, are…
