We report on the calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the width difference $\Delta \Gamma_s$ in the neutral $B$-meson mixing process $B^0_s - \bar{B}^0_s$. These contributions represent an important step in…
In this work we address the issue of large perturbative uncertainties in the theory prediction for $\Delta \Gamma_s$, the width difference in the $B^0_s - \bar{B}^0_s$ mixing process. To this aim we complete important steps towards the full…
The width difference $\Delta \Gamma$ among the two mass eigenstates of the $B_s$-$\bar B_s$ system is measured with a precision of 7%. The theory prediction has a larger uncertainty which mainly stems from unknown perturbative higher-order…
We extend the theoretical prediction for the width difference $\Delta \Gamma_q$ in the mixing of neutral $B$ mesons in the Standard Model to next-to-next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. To this aim we calculate three-loop diagrams with two…
In this short review, the calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the inclusive radiative decay B -> X_s gamma is described. I summarize the salient features of the calculational framework adopted, discuss the…
Strengthening constraints on new physics from the B -> X_s gamma branching ratio requires improving accuracy in the measurements and the Standard Model predictions. To match the expected Belle-II accuracy, Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order…
The calculation of QCD corrections to the width difference Delta Gamma in the B_s meson system is presented. The next-to-leading order corrections reduce the dependence on the renormalization scale significantly and allow for a meaningful…
We use the heavy quark expansion to investigate the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates. The corrections of ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{QCD}/m_b)$ and ${\cal O}(m_s/m_b)$ to the leading order expression in the…
Current status of the NNLO QCD corrections to B -> X_s gamma is reviewed. The calculations include three-loop matching conditions, four-loop anomalous dimensions as well as two- and three-loop on-shell amplitudes. Certain parts of the…
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the width difference Delta Gamma in the B_s-meson system are presented. I further discuss how Delta Gamma can be used to detect new physics.
This report summarises important technical challenges and their solutions in the calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ in the $B_s-\overline{B}_s$ system. We focus on the…
We discuss the calculation of the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{B_s}$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates to next-to-leading order in the heavy quark expansion. $1/m_b$-corrections are estimated to reduce the leading order result by…
The present status of the theoretical estimates of the difference between the widths of the neutral Bs-mesons and of the B-meson lifetime ratios is reviewed. In particular, the lattice results for the matrix elements of the relevant (delta…
In this talk we present a calculation of the dacay rate difference in the neutral $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ system, $\Delta \Gamma_{B_s}$, in next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD. We find a sizeable decrease compared to leading-order (LO) estimates: $…
We compute next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative corrections to the decay width difference of mass eigenstates and the charge-parity asymmetry $a_{\rm fs}$ in flavour-specific decays of neutral $B$ mesons. In our calculation we take…
We update our work ``Two Higgs Doublet Model predictions for B->X_s gamma in NLO QCD'', hep-ph/9802391 by taking into account the recently calculated electromagnetic corrections. We present a new exclusion contour plot (tan(\beta),m_H),…
We briefly summarize the current status of perturbative calculations at next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) accuracy in the \bar{B}\to X_s\gamma decay rate as well as that of non-perturbative power-corrections.
The flavor-changing electromagnetic dipole operator O_7 gives the dominant contribution to the B -> Xs gamma decay rate. We calculate two-loop QCD corrections to its matrix element together with the corresponding bremsstrahlung…
Perturbative O(alpha_s^2) corrections to BR(B -> Xs gamma) in the BLM approximation receive contributions from two-, three- and four-body final states. While all the two-body results are well established by now, the other ones have remained…
We present the first complete high-precision QCD corrections to the inclusive decay width $\mathrm{\Gamma}_t$, the $W$-helicity fractions $f_{\mathrm{L,R,0}}$ and semi-inclusive distributions for the top-quark decay process $t \rightarrow b…
