A generalization of the parton-like formula is used for the first time to find the differential distributions in the inclusive semileptonic weak decays of the B meson. The main features of this new approach are the treatment of the b-quark…
We study the (tree-level) weak radiative decays of $B$ mesons. We present a numerical estimate for the inclusive $b \to X_c \gamma (\gamma)$ modes based on the free-quark decay. We then review what is known for the $B \to D^\star \gamma$…
