The semi-inclusive B-meson decay into spin-singlet D-wave $2^{-+}$ charmonium, $B\to \eta_{c2}+X$, is studied in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD). Both color-singlet and color-octet contributions are calculated at next-to-leading order (NLO) in…
We investigate the effect of vector quarks on the inclusive decays B -> X_d,s \gamma. We show that the branching ratio of B -> X_d \gamma can differ sizably from the SM and MSSM predictions, being enhanced to present experimental…

We apply perturbative QCD factorization theorems to inclusive heavy hadron decays, and obtain simultaneously a low semileptonic branching ratio $B(B\to Xl\bar{\nu})=10.16%$, the average charm yield $<n_c>=1.17$ per $B$ decay, a small…

We show that threshold resummation of the end-point logarithms in inclusive $b$-hadron decays leads to a Sudakov factor, which introduces $1/m_b$ power corrections through infrared renormalons. These power corrections are strong enough to…
