Using results on soft-collinear factorization for inclusive B-meson decay distributions, a systematic study of the partial $B\to X_s\gamma$ decay rate with a cut $E_\gamma > E_0$ on photon energy is performed. For values of $E_0$ below…
This talk is a short review on the theoretical issues and uncertainties in the calculation of partial decay rates in inclusive B decays. The main emphasis is on charmless semileptonic decays, the B -> X(s) gamma photon spectrum, and the…
We have tried to measure $|V_{ub}|$ using inclusive semileptonic decay measurements with three different methods. The full reconstruction tag is the one of the most feasible method to measure inclusive process. Semileptonic $B\to…
We comment on two recent calculations of the second order perturbative corrections in the heavy flavor semileptonic transitions within the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie approach. It is pointed out that the results do not show significant…
Experimental studies of charmless semileptonic B decays can be broadly categorized into inclusive and exclusive measurements depending on how the final states are treated. The inclusive method measures the decay rate $\Gamma(B \to X_u \ell…

In light of the first observation of the semileptonic decay $B^{0}_{s}\to K^{-}\mu^{+}\nu_{\mu}$ by the LHCb collaboration, we revisit the determination of the CKM parameter $|V_{ub}|$ from exclusive semileptonic $B$-meson decays. A…
We present ``state-of-the-art'' theoretical expressions for the triple differential B->X_u l^- nu decay rate and for the B->X_s gamma photon spectrum, which incorporate all known contributions and smoothly interpolate between the…
Supersymmetric loop contributions can lead to different decay rates of H+\to t\bar b and H-\to b\bar t. We calculate the decay rate asymmetry \delta^CP = \frac{\Gamma(H+\to t\bar b)-\Gamma(H-\to b\bar t)}{{\Gamma(H+\to t\bar b)+\Gamma(H-\to…
Cosmological perturbation theory is known to converge poorly for predicting the spherical collapse and void evolution of collisionless matter. Using the exact parametric solution as a testing ground, we develop two asymptotic methods in…
Using asymptotic Pade approximant methods, we have calculated the O(alpha_s^5) contribution to the Standard-Model H to gg decay rate. This process is of particular interest because of the slow convergence evident from the known terms of its…
We present a theoretical reappraisal of the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for the decays $ B \to X_q \ell^+ \ell^-$, with $q=d,s$, taking into account current theoretical uncertainties in the description of the inclusive decay…

Known perturbative expressions for the decay rates of 115 GeV Higgs particle into either two gluons or a $b\bar{b}$ pair are shown to exhibit renormalization-scale-($\mu$)-dependence that is largely removed via…
Radiative symmetry breaking (RSB) is a theoretically appealing framework for the generation of mass scales through quantum effects. It can be successfully implemented in models with extended scalar and gauge sectors. We provide a systematic…
We report two novel determinations of |Vub| with reduced model dependence, based on measurements of the mass distribution of the hadronic system in semileptonic B decays. Events are selected by fully reconstructing the decay of one B meson…
We present $O(\alpha_s^2)$ QCD corrections to the fully-differential decay rate of a $b$-quark into inclusive semileptonic charmless final states. Our calculation provides genuine two-loop QCD corrections, beyond the…
We propose a novel method of measuring the CKM matrix element V_ub, via inclusive B decays to "wrong sign" charm. This process is mediated by the quark level decay b -> u cbar s'. When normalized to the inclusive semileptonic decay rate,…
