We develop a systematic framework for exclusive rare B decays of the type B -> K(*)l+l- at large dilepton invariant mass q^2. It is based on an operator product expansion (OPE) for the required matrix elements of the nonleptonic weak…
Rare $B$-meson decays mediated by $b\to s\ell\ell$ transitions constitute sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model, and have triggered considerable interest due to hints for deviations from the Standard-Model prediction. To…
We briefly discuss the status of the NNLL QCD calculations in the inclusive rare B decay $B \to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$. Two important ingredients, the two-loop matrix elements of the four quark operator ${\cal O}_2$ and the bremsstrahlung…
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 present our results for the NNLL virtual corrections to the matrix elements of the operators O_1 and O_2 for the inclusive process b\to s\ell^+\ell^- in the kinematical region q^2>4m_c^2, where q^2 is the invariant mass squared of the…
We calculate the full set of next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to $h\to b\bar{b}$ decay in the dimension-6 Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Our calculation forms the basis for precision studies of this decay mode in…
The $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) is defined as the matrix element of a quark-antiquark bilocal light-cone operator in the heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) and is a building block of QCD factorization formula for…
Details of a recent calculation of O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the decay b -> c,l,nu_l, taking into account the c-quark mass, are described. Construction of the expansion in the mass ratio m_c/m_b as well as the evaluation of new four-loop…
We discuss the renormalisation properties of the full set of $\Delta F=2$ operators involved in BSM processes, including the definition of RGI versions of operators that exhibit mixing under RG transformations. As a first step for a fully…
We present the two-loop corrected operator matrix elements calculated in N-dimensional regularization up to the finite terms which survive in the limit $\epsilon = N - 4 \to 0 $. The anomalous dimensions of the local operators have been…
We consider QCD radiative corrections to $W^+W^-b {\bar b}$ production with leptonic decays and massive bottom quarks at the LHC. We perform an exact next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation within the $q_T$-subtraction formalism and…
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…
We compute NNLO (${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$) corrections to the hard-scattering kernels entering the QCD factorization formula for $B\to V\gamma$ decays, where $V$ is a light vector meson. We give complete NNLO results for the dipole operators…
The form factors for the $K_{\ell 3}$ semileptonic decay are computed to order $O(p^4)$ in generalized chiral perturbation theory. The main difference with the standard $O(p^4)$ expressions consists in contributions quadratic in quark…
We report on the first analytic NNLL calculation for the matrix elements of the operators O_1 and O_2 for the inlusive process b --> X_s l^+l^- in the kinematical region q^2>4m_c^2, where q^2 is the invariant mass squared of the…
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…
In the heavy-quark limit, the decay spectrum for radiative and semileptonic inclusive B-meson decays is determined by a universal structure function, i.e. the shape function. We study the constraints on the bilocal heavy-quark operator for…
We reconsider the complete set of four-quark operators in the Weak Effective Theory (WET) for non-leptonic $\Delta F=1$ decays that govern $s\to d$ and $b\to d, s$ transitions in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond, at the Next-to-Leading…
We compute perturbative matching coefficients to the Heavy Quark Effective Theory representation for the QCD effective local $\Delta B=2$ Hamiltonian that determines the mass difference in $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ system of states. We report on the…
In the present work we consider the assignment of the factorization and renormalization scales in hadron collider processes with associated jet production, at next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbation theory. We propose a simple, definite…
