We review semi-inclusive charmless B decays, focussing on threshold logarithmic resumming and on universality of QCD dynamics in radiative and semileptonic decays.
The inclusive spectra of radiative and semi-leptonic B-meson decays near the endpoint is computed taking into account renormalons in the Sudakov exponent (Dressed Gluon Exponentiation). In this framework we demonstrate the factorization of…
We study soft-gluon radiation in top quark decay within the framework of perturbative fragmentation functions. We present results for the b-quark energy distribution, accounting for soft-gluon resummation in both the MSbar coefficient…
The main challenge in computing inclusive cross sections and decay spectra in QCD is posed by kinematic thresholds. The threshold region is characterized by stringent phase-space constraints that are reflected in large perturbative…
We compare experimental spectra of radiative and semileptonic B decays with the predictions of a model based on soft-gluon resummation to next-to-next-to leading order and on a ghost-less time-like coupling. We find a good agreement with…
I briefly summarize some general features of soft-gluon contribution to inclusive cross-sections. The discussion includes the issue of soft-gluon singularities in infrared- and collinear-safe observables. All-order resummation and the…
I discuss the motivation for resummation of the effects of initial-state soft gluon radiation, to all orders in the strong coupling strength, for processes in which the near-threshold region in the partonic subenergy is important. I…
We analyze the inclusive semileptonic decays B -> X_s l^+ l^- in the framework of the supersymmetric standard model with non-universal soft-breaking terms at GUT scale. We show that the general trend of universal and non-universal models is…
We discuss threshold resummation in radiative and charmless semileptonic B decays. To deal with the large non perturbative effects, we introduce a model for NNLL resummed form factors based on the analytic QCD coupling. By means of this…
We evaluate the inclusive semileptonic B decay spectrum as a function of the final-state hadrons energy to second order in the inverse quark mass expansion and tree level in $\alpha_{s}$. We argue that there is an energy interval below the…
I discuss some of the basic techniques and results of soft gluon resummation, and their applications to scattering at collider energies.
We derive a new parton formula for the inclusive B decays and briefly discuss its applications to semileptonic and weak radiative decays of the B-meson.
We resum to next-to-leading order the distribution in the ratio of the invariant hadron mass mX to the total hadron energy EX and the distribution in mX in the semileptonic decays B -> Xu l nu. By expanding our formulas, we obtain the…
Large double-logarithmic corrections are induced by soft gluon emissions near threshold in the semi-inclusive $e^+e^-$ annihilation (SIA) distributions, and must be resummed to all-orders in perturbation theory for reliable theoretical…
We derive a resummation formula for a $k_T$-dependent parton distribution function at threshold, where $k_T$ is a parton transverse momentum. The derivation requires infrared cutoffs for both longitudinal and transverse loop momenta as…
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…
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…
In recent times, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these…
This talk is a short review on the theoretical issues and uncertainties in the calculation of partial decay rates in inclusive B decays. The main emphasis is on charmless semileptonic decays, the B -> X(s) gamma photon spectrum, and the…
The momentum spectra of particles in different high energy processes, such as e^+e^- annihilation, pp and nuclear collisions in the limit p,p_T -> 0 exhibit similar properties because of the dominant role of coherent soft gluon…
