Recently, it was shown that in inclusive B -> Xs l+ l- decay, an angular decomposition provides three independent (q^2 dependent) observables. A strategy was formulated to extract all measurable Wilson coefficients in B -> Xs l+ l- from a…

We study nonperturbative corrections up to O(1/m_b^3) in the inclusive rare B decay B -> X_s l^+ l^- by performing an operator product expansion. The values of the matrix elements entering at this order are unknown and introduce…

The most precise comparison between theory and experiment for the B -> Xs l+ l- rate is in the low q^2 region, but the hadronic uncertainties associated with an experimentally required cut on m_X potentially spoil the search for new physics…

We present a new phenomenological analysis of the inclusive rare decay $B \to X_s \ell^+\ell^-$. In particular, we present the first calculation of the NNLL contributions due to the leading two-loop matrix elements, evaluated for arbitrary…

We reconsider the calculation of ${\cal O}(\Lambda^2_{QCD}/m^2_b)$ nonperturbative corrections to $\bar B\to X_sl^+l^-$ decay. Our analysis confirms the results of Ali et al. for the dilepton invariant mass spectrum, which were in…

It is shown that the inclusive rate of the rare weak radiative decays $B \to X_s \gamma$ contains a series of nonperturbative corrections, whose `short distance' scale is set by $m_c^{-1}$, rather than by $m_b^{- 1}$. The first correction…

We study nonperturbative corrections to the inclusive rare decay B -> X_s l^+ l^- by performing an operator product expansion (OPE) to O(1/m_b^3). The values of the matrix elements entering at this order are unknown and introduce…

We study logarithmically enhanced electromagnetic corrections to the decay rate in the high dilepton invariant mass region as well as corrections to the forward backward asymmetry (FBA) of the inclusive rare decay $\bar{B} \to X_s \ell^+…

We point out that in inclusive B -> Xs l+ l- decay an angular decomposition provides a third (q^2 dependent) observable sensitive to a different combination of Wilson coefficients than the rate and the forward-backward asymmetry. Since a…

We investigate logarithmically enhanced electromagnetic corrections of all angular observables in inclusive B -> X_s l^+ l^-. We present analytical results, which are supplemented by a dedicated Monte Carlo study on the treatment of…

We discuss nonperturbative contributions to the inclusive rare $B$ decays $B\to X_s\gamma$ and $B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$. We employ an operator product expansion and the heavy quark effective theory to compute the leading corrections to the…

We calculate nonperturbative ${\cal O}(\Lambda^2_{QCD}/m^2_c)$ corrections to the dilepton invariant mass spectrum and the forward-backward charge asymmetry in $B\to X_se^+e^-$ decay using a heavy quark expansion approach. The method has…

The B -> X_s l+ l- decay rate is known at the next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. It is proportional to alpha_em (mu)^2 and has a +- 4% scale uncertainty before including the O(alpha_em log(M_W^2/m_b^2)) electromagnetic corrections. We…

A new class of enhanced non-perturbative corrections to the inclusive B->X_s+gamma decay rate is identified, which contribute first at order Lambda/m_b in the heavy-quark expansion and cannot be described using a local operator product…

The calculation of partial decay rates in B --> X_u l nu decays at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in alpha_s and to leading order in 1/m_b is described. New results for the hard function are combined with known results for the jet…

We present a complete $O(\alpha_s^2)$ correction to the differential width of the inclusive semileptonic decay $b\to cl\nu_l$ at the kinematical point of vanishing invariant mass of the leptons, $q^2=0$. Together with the recently computed…

We compute the order 1/m_b^3 nonperturbative contributions to the inclusive differential B\to X_c\ell\bar\nu decay rate. They are parametrized by the expectation values of two local and four nonlocal dimension-six operators. We use our…

We derive the triply differential spectrum for the inclusive rare decay B -> Xs l+ l- in the shape function region, in which Xs is jet-like with $mX^2 \lesssim mb \Lambda_QCD$. Experimental cuts make this a relevant region. The perturbative…

We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to b \to c l \bar \nu_l decay rate at a fully differential level. Arbitrary cuts on kinematic variables of the decay products can be imposed. Our computation can be used to…

We extend previous computations of the second order QCD corrections to semileptonic b \to c inclusive transitions, to the case where the charged lepton in the final state is massive. This allows accurate description of b \to c \tau \bar…
