Radiative Leptonic B Decays in the Light Front Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

Within the light front framework, we calculate the form factors for BγB\to\gamma transitions directly in the entire physical range of momentum transfer. Using these form factors, we study the radiative decays of BlνlγB\to l\nu_l\gamma and Bs(d)ννˉγB_{s(d)}\to\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma. We show that the decay rates of Blνlγ(l=e,μ)B\to l\nu_l\gamma (l=e,\mu) and BννˉγB\to\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma are larger than that of the corresponding purely leptonic modes. Explicitly, in the standard model, we find that the branching ratios of BμνμγB\to \mu\nu_{\mu}\gamma and BsννˉγB_s\to\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma are 3.7×1063.7\times 10^{-6} and 5.0×1085.0\times 10^{-8}, in contrast with 3×1073\times 10^{-7} and 0 for BμνμB\to\mu\nu_{\mu} and BννˉB\to\nu\bar{\nu}, respectively.
