The contributions of subleading shape functions to inclusive decay distributions of B mesons are derived from a systematic two-step matching of QCD current correlators onto soft-collinear and heavy-quark effective theory. At tree-level, the…
A field theoretic description for inclusive semileptonic B meson decays is formulated. We argue that large regions of the phase spaces for the decays are dominated by distances near the light cone. The light-cone dominance allows to…
It has recently been pointed out that a new class of subleading shape functions involving B-meson matrix elements of non-local four-quark operators contributes at order Lambda_{QCD}/m_b to B->X_u+l+nu decay distributions in the endpoint…
In this paper we investigate the subleading twist corrections to the photon energy spectrum in the decay Lambda_b -> X_s \gamma and to the lepton energy spectrum in Lambda_b -> X_u l \bar{\nu}. As a first step we rederive the matching…
The contribution of subleading jet functions to inclusive decay distributions of $B$ mesons are derived from a systematic two-step matching of QCD current correlators onto soft collinear and heavy quark effective theory. Focusing on the…
We propose a method to non-perturbatively calculate the forward-scattering matrix elements relevant to inclusive semi-leptonic B meson decays. Corresponding hadronic structure functions at unphysical kinematics are accessible through…
We calculate the subleading twist contributions to the endpoint of the inclusive lepton energy spectrum in B -> X_u l \nu. We show that the same two subleading twist functions that appear in the decay B -> X_s \gamma govern the subleading…
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 present a brief discussion about expressions of decay widths of exclusive nonleptonic and semileptonic B decays at tree level including $l=0$ and $l=1$ mesons in final state. Our analysis is carried out assuming factorization hypothesis…
Using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), we examine the 1/m_b corrections to the factorization formulas for inclusive semi-leptonic B decays in the endpoint region, where the hadronic final state consists of a single jet. At tree…
The $B$-Mesogenesis framework anticipates decays of $B$ mesons into a dark antibaryon $\Psi$ and various Standard Model baryons. Here, we focus on the exclusive decay process $B\to p \Psi$ observed as a proton and missing energy in the…
We study the Lambda_QCD/M_B corrections from subleading shape functions in inclusive B-meson decays. We propose a natural and smooth interpolation from the endpoint region to the full phase space, and derive expressions for the triple…
This thesis examines the non-leptonic B-decays within QCD factorisation and beyond, to challenge the assumptions and limitations of the method. We analyse the treatment of the distribution amplitudes of light mesons and present a new model…
We discuss exclusive charmless B decays within the Standard Model of particle physics. In particular, we consider hadronic two-body decays as B -> pi pi and perform a conceptual analysis of heavy-to-light form factors which encode the…
We derive a factorization theorem for the structure-dependent QED effects in the weak exclusive process $B^-\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$, i.e., effects probing the internal structure of the $B$ meson. The derivation requires a careful treatment…
I give an overview of the theory of hadronic nonleptonic B decays into two light mesons. Using the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), a factorization theorem for these processes has been proven to leading order in 1/mb. The…
We show that the presence of intrinsic charm in the hadrons' light-cone wave functions, even at a few percent level, provides new, competitive decay mechanisms for B decays which are nominally CKM-suppressed. For example, the weak decays of…
Progress in the theoretical description of B-meson decays, in particular decays to light hadrons, is reviewed. The factorization properties of such decays can be analyzed using the soft-collinear effective theory. Applications of the…
The article is devoted to Bc->Bs+n pi, Bc->Bs*+n pi decays with n=1, 2, 3, 4. In the framework of factorization theorem the branching fractions of these processes can be written as convolution of hard part, describing Bc->Bs W, Bc->Bs* W…
Based on the dual representation in terms of the recently established eigenfunctions of the evolution kernel in heavy-quark effective theory, we investigate the description of the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) beyond…
