We review the theoretical status of the predictions for the decay rate differences in the neutral B-system. We find (Delta Gamma/Gamma) Bs = (12 pm 5) 10^(-2) and (Delta Gamma/Gamma) Bd = (3 pm 1.2) 10^(-3).
Using dimensional regularization for both infrared and ultraviolet divergences, we confirm that the QCD corrections to the decay width $\Gamma(t\to H^+b)$ are equal to those to $\Gamma(t\to W^+b)$ in the limit of a large $t$ quark mass.
Recent developments in higher order calculations within the framework of Dimensional Reduction, the preferred regularization scheme for supersymmetric theories, are reported on. Special emphasis is put on the treatment of evanescent…
