A QCD based calculation of the photon spectrum in semi-inclusive $\eta_Q$ decays is performed. The method applied is an effective theory based on a 1/m_Q expansion of QCD.
We argue that the photon spectra in radiative decays of various heavy quarkonium states provide important information on their nature. If two of these states are in the strong coupling regime, we are able to produce a parameter-free model…
We show how radiative QCD corrections calculated in terms of quarks can be incorporated at the hadron level in inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays. The bound state effects are described by a momentum distribution function of the $b$…
The decay widths of S-wave quarkonia ($\etc,\etb\to \gg{~~and~~} \J,\U\to\ee$) are calculated on the basis of a quasipotential approach. The nontrivial dependence on relative quark motion of decay amplitude is taken into consideration via…
We include two loop, relativistic one loop and second order relativistic tree level corrections, plus leading nonperturbative contributions, to obtain a calculation of the lower states in the heavy quarkonium spectrum correct up to, and…
We investigate the SM Higgs decays into heavy quarkonia J/\psi and \Upsilon in both color-singlet and color-octet mechanisms. It is found that in J/\psi production the contribution through color-octet processes overwhelm that in…
We have calculated the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to the photon energy spectrum in radiative Upsilon decays. The higher-order corrections significantly modify the shape of the spectrum, in particular at large photon…
We examine the electronic width ratios of Upsilon resonances below the BBbar threshold by means of an effective (Cornell-type) QCD potential incorporating 1/m_b corrections obtained from a prior fit to the bottomonium spectrum. From our…
We show that although there is no infrared divergence in exclusive P-wave quarkonium decays, the colour octet contribution is no less important than in the inclusive decay. Results from more proper calculations with only colour singlet…
We briefly summarize some results obtained by potential NRQCD in the non perturbative regime: 1) a systematic procedure to obtain the heavy quarkonium potential in the 1/m expansion (with explicit expressions up to O(1/m^2) in terms of…
We show that some NRQCD colour-octet matrix elements can be written in terms of (derivatives of) wave functions at the origin and non-perturbative universal constants once the factorization between the soft and ultrasoft scale is achieved…
We perform a QCD analysis for the radiative decay of a heavy $^3S_1$ quarkonium into the tensor meson $f_2(1270)$. We make an attempt to separate the nonperturbative effect related to the quarkonium and that related to the tensor meson, the…
The radiative decays of decuplet to octet baryons are analyzed within the light cone QCD sum rules framework.The electromagnetic transition form factors for these decays are calculated up to twist four accuracy for photon wave functions as…
Recently, Neubert has suggested that a certain class of nonperturbative corrections dominates the shape of the electron spectrum in the endpoint region of semileptonic $B$ decay. Perturbative QCD corrections are important in the endpoint…
The importance of the color octet component in P-wave charmonia is discussed in the context of exclusive decay processes. It is vital to include this contribution already at the level of the two-body decay channels. The \pi \pi and…
Semileptonic decays of heavy baryons consisting of one heavy (Q=b,c) and two light (q=u,d,s) quarks are considered in the heavy-quark--light-diquark approximation. The relativistic quasipotential equation is used for obtaining masses and…
The di-pion spectrum for the $\Upsilon(nS) \to \Upsilon (n'S))$ transition with $n\leq 4$ has the form $\frac{dw}{dq}\sim $ (phase space) $ |\eta-x|^2$, with $x=\frac{q^2-4m^2_\pi}{(\Delta M)^2 -4 m^2_\pi}< q^2 \equiv M^2_{\pi\pi}, $ and…
We present a calculation of the two-photon and two-gluon widths for the equal mass quarkonium states $^1S_0$, $^3P_0$ and $^3P_2$ of the charmonium and upsilon systems. The approach taken is based on using the full relativistic…
We derive the dominant part of the O(\alpha_s^2) correction to the photon energy spectrum in the inclusive decay B-> X_s+gamma. The detailed knowledge of the spectrum is important for relating the theoretical calculations of the B-> X_s +…
