We establish refactorisation conditions between the subleading ${O}_8$-${O}_8$ contributions to the inclusive $\bar B \to X_s \gamma$ decay suffering from endpoint divergences and prove a factorisation theorem for these contributions to all…
In view of the importance of the nonperturbative resolved contributions for the overall uncertainties of the two inclusive penguin decays $\bar B \to X_s \gamma$ and $\bar B \to X_{s,d} \ell^+\ell^-$ we reanalyse these contributions using…
The rare decay $\bar B\to X_s\gamma$ is an important probe of physics beyond the standard model. The largest uncertainty on the total rate and the CP asymmetry arises from resolved photon contributions. These appear first at order $1/m_b$…
We report on recent progress in the field of nonlocal (so-called resolved) contributions to the inclusive penguin decays which presently belong to the largest uncertainties in these inclusive decay modes. There is still a very large scale…
It is by now well known that, at subleading power in scale ratios, factorization theorems for high-energy cross sections and decay amplitudes contain endpoint-divergent convolution integrals. The presence of these divergences hints at a…
We analyze uncertainties in the theoretical prediction for the inclusive branching ratio $BR[B \rightarrow X_s \gamma]$. We find that the dominant uncertainty in the leading order expression comes from its $\mu$-dependence. We discuss a…
Building on the recent derivation of a bare factorization theorem for the $b$-quark induced contribution to the $h\to\gamma\gamma$ decay amplitude based on soft-collinear effective theory, we derive the first renormalized factorization…
Using methods from soft-collinear and heavy-quark effective theory, a systematic factorization analysis is performed for the $\bar B\to X_s\gamma$ photon spectrum in the endpoint region $m_b-2E_\gamma={\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$. It is…
We give a brief review of the next-to-leading logarithmic results in $B \to X_s \gamma$. Combining the results of different groups, a practically complete next-to-leading-logarithmic prediction of the inclusive decay rate was recently…
The rare inclusive decay $\bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma$ is an important probe of physics beyond the standard model. The largest uncertainty on the decay rate and CP asymmetry comes from operators that appear at order $1/m_b$ in the heavy…
In this talk I briefly review the current status of the theory of the inclusive $B$ decays: $\bar B\to X_c\, \ell\,\bar\nu_\ell$, $\bar B\to X_u\, \ell\,\bar\nu_\ell$, and $\bar B\to X_s\,\gamma$. I try to answer three questions: what is…
We derive factorization theorems for Lambda_QCD/mb power corrections to inclusive B-decays in the endpoint region, where mX^2 ~mb Lambda_QCD. In B-> Xu e nu our results are for the full triply differential rate. A complete enumeration of…
Current errors on |V_{ub}| are dominated by model dependence. For inclusive decays, the model dependence comes from the Fermi motion of the b quark. By combining the endpoint photon and lepton spectra from the inclusive decays B -> X_s…
The main obstacle in describing inclusive decay spectra in QCD - which, in particular, limits the precision in extrapolating the measured \bar{B} \to X(s) gamma rate to the full phase space as well as in extracting |V_{ub}| from inclusive…
I report here recent measurements of observables from the inclusive decays $B\to X_s\gamma$ and $B\to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$. Included are measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for both channels, as well as the…
In this article, I review the recent results for inclusive and exclusive measurements for $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to d\gamma$ decays from $B$ factories Belle and Babar. I describe the measurement of branching fraction and direct CP violating…
We give a summary about the various contributions which have to be calculated in order to obtain the next-to-leading logarithmic result for the branching ratio $BR(B \to X_s \gamma)$. Combining all these ingredients, which were obtained by…
We present a concise review of the recent theoretical progress concerning the standard model calculation of the inclusive radiative Bbar -> X_s gamma decay. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the calculations of the…
The present NLL prediction for the decay rate of the rare inclusive process $\bar B \to X_s \gamma$ has a large uncertainty due to the charm mass renormalization scheme ambiguity. We estimate that this uncertainty will be reduced by a…
The calculation of the $O(\a_s)$ virtual corrections to the matrix element of the inclusive decay $b \to s \gamma$ is reported. These contributions drastically reduce the large renormalization scale dependence of the leading logarithmic…
