Photon energy moments in B -> X_s+\gamma and the impact of experimental cuts are analyzed, including the biases exponential in the effective hardness missed in the conventional OPE. We incorporate the perturbative corrections fully…
We report the OPE-based predictions for a number of lepton energy and hadronic mass moments in the inclusive semileptonic B -> X_c \ell\nu decays with a lower cut on the charged lepton energy. We rely on the direct OPE approach where no…
Aspects of the OPE-based QCD theory of B decays are discussed. We have at least one nontrivial precision check of the OPE at the nonperturbative level in inclusive decays. The data suggest proximity to the `BPS' limit for B mesons. Its…
Based on a new, exact QCD factorization formula for the partial B->X_s+gamma decay rate with a restriction on large photon energy, improved predictions are presented for the partial moments <E_gamma> and <E_gamma^2>-<E_gamma>^2 of the…
We derive the dominant part of the O(\alpha_s^2) correction to the photon energy spectrum in the inclusive decay B-> X_s+gamma. The detailed knowledge of the spectrum is important for relating the theoretical calculations of the B-> X_s +…
Moments of the photon energy spectrum in B -> Xs gamma decays, of the hadronic mass spectrum and of the lepton energy spectrum in B -> Xc l nu decays are sensitive to the masses of the heavy quarks as well as to the non-perturbative…
We have calculated the perturbative corrections to all the structure functions in the semileptonic decays of a heavy quark. Assuming an arbitrary gluon mass as a technical tool allowed to obtain in parallel all the BLM corrections. We…
A theoretical analysis of the partial inclusive B-->X_s gamma decay rate with a cut E_gamma>E_0 on photon energy must deal with short-distance contributions associated with three different mass scales: the hard scale m_b, an intermediate…
The moments of the photon spectrum in the inclusive $B\to X_s\,\gamma$ decay can be calculated to order $\alpha_s$ accuracy at present, without knowing the $\alpha_s$ corrections to the effective Hamiltonian. We discuss the standard model…
It is argued that the quark mass difference $m_b-m_c$ can be extracted with a high accuracy from experimental data on ratia of moments of lepton energy spectrum in semileptonic decays of $B$ mesons. Theoretical expressions for the moments…
We present OPE predictions for the hadronic mass and q^2 moments in inclusive semileptonic charmless B decays, with a lower cut on the charged lepton energy and an upper cut on the hadronic invariant mass. We include non-perturbative…
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 derive a new parton-like formula, which establishes a simple connection between the electroweak decay rate $\Gamma (\bar B \to X_s\gamma$) and the rate of a free b-quark decay. The main features of our approach are the treatment of the…
We extract the heavy quark masses and non-perturbative parameters from the Delphi preliminary measurements of the first three moments of the charged lepton energy and hadronic mass distributions in semileptonic B decays, using a…
The nonperturbative contribution, suppressed by powers of the charm quark mass m_c, in the inclusive decay B -> X_s photon is analyzed in the context of heavy quark effective field theory (HQEFT). According to previous analyses, the leading…
We present a detailed evaluation of the total semileptonic B meson width in terms of |V_{cb}| and heavy quark parameters (quark masses and the expectation values of local heavy quark operators). Special attention is given to perturbative…
Strong interactions are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}| and determining heavy quark parameters. A comprehensive approach allows a robust analysis not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; a percent defendable accuracy in |V_{cb}|…
We present ``state-of-the-art'' theoretical expressions for the triple differential B->X_u l^- nu decay rate and for the B->X_s gamma photon spectrum, which incorporate all known contributions and smoothly interpolate between the…
Using results on soft-collinear factorization for inclusive B-meson decay distributions, a systematic study of the partial $B\to X_s\gamma$ decay rate with a cut $E_\gamma > E_0$ on photon energy is performed. For values of $E_0$ below…
We compute the first two moments of the final hadronic invariant mass in inclusive semileptonic B decay, in the presence of a cut on the charged lepton energy. These moments may be measured directly by experiments at the Upsilon(4S) using…
