We consider nonleptonic B decays into two light mesons at leading order in soft-collinear effective theory, and show that the decay amplitudes are factorized to all orders in alpha_s. The operators for nonleptonic B decays in the full…
The considerable influx of new data on B decays offers opportunities to determine some of the smaller contributions to the decay process, such as suppressed diagrams, and to test the relations between decay amplitudes implied by (broken)…
Expressions for decay amplitudes of B0, B- and Bs mesons to two light pseudoscalar or vector mesons, including isosinglet mesons eta, eta', omega, phi, are obtained using Soft Collinear Effective Theory at LO in 1/mb. These are then used to…
In this talk I will discuss non-leptonic B decays, in particular how soft-collinear effective field theory (SCET) can be used to constrain the non-perturbative hadronic parameters required to describe the various observables.
Intriguing B --> K eta' decays provide a unique opportunity to study a joining of two-gluon configurations arising from the penguin b --> sG and b --> sGG transitions, with those inherent to the eta' particle. We employ the heavy-light…
B -> K pi and related decays are studied in the heavy quark limit of QCD using the soft collinear effective theory (SCET). We focus on results that follow solely from integrating out the scale mb, without expanding the amplitudes for the…
We show that the amplitudes for B decays into two light mesons at leading order in soft-collinear effective theory are factorized to all orders in alpha_s. We construct gauge-invariant four-quark operators by employing the effective…
We show that the neglect of the $(V-A)\times (V+A)$ pieces of the electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes in the effective hamiltonian (the Wilson coefficients are very small) allows one to calculate the relative size of some tree and EWP…
We discuss the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) and kinematic expansions in B-decays, focusing on recent results for color suppressed B -> D^(*) X decays. In particular we discuss model independent predictions for B^0 -> D^0 pi^0 and…
We study the effects of electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes in $B$ meson decays into two charmless pseudoscalars in the approximation of retaining only the dominant EWP operators $Q_9$ and $Q_{10}$. Using flavor SU(3) symmetry, we derive a…
We discuss the most general form of the leading power suppressed collinear operators in the soft-collinear effective theory. Such operators appear in the description of power corrections to exclusive heavy flavor decays into energetic light…
Soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) is used to demonstrate factorization for event shape distributions in the two-jet region. The leading nonperturbative power corrections to these distributions can be characterized as shape functions…
The study of amplitudes and cross sections in the soft and collinear limits allows for an understanding of their all orders behavior, and the identification of universal structures. At leading power soft emissions are eikonal, and described…
Employing the systematic framework of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) we perform an improved calculation of the leading-power contributions to the double radiative $B_{d, \, s}$-meson decay amplitudes in the heavy quark expansion. We…
We investigate sum rules for heavy-to-light transition form factors at large recoil derived from correlation functions with interpolating currents for light pseudoscalar or vector fields in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). We…
We present a systematic discussion of Lambda_b -> Lambda transition form factors in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). The universal soft form factor, which enters the symmetry relations in the limit of large recoil…
We discuss how to construct a simple and easy-to-use helicity operator basis in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), for which the hard Wilson coefficients from matching QCD onto SCET are directly given in terms of the color-ordered QCD…
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…
Soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) has become a standard tool to study the factorization of short- and long-distance effects in processes involving low-energetic (soft) particles and high-energetic/low-virtuality (collinear) modes. In…
We present predictions for the photon energy spectrum in inclusive $B\to X_s\gamma$ decays mediated by the electromagnetic penguin operator $O_7$ to N$^3$LL$'$. We use soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) to resum the singular…
