We present the Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) calculations at the next-to-leading order (NLO) of $\alpha_s$ for $B_c^*\to \eta_c$ vector, axial-vector, tensor and axial-tensor form factors, and obtain complete analytical expressions for the…
We present an estimate of certain higher order corrections to the contribution of the charm triangle loop in the inclusive B -> X_s gamma decay rate, recently discussed by Voloshin. We find that these corrections are minute and hence the…
The four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$-parameter arising from top and bottom quark loops are computed. Specifically we evaluate the missing ``non-singlet'' piece. Using algebraic methods the amplitude is reduced to a set of…
We compute three-loop vertex corrections to $b\to s\gamma$ induced by current-current operators. The results are presented as expansions in $m_c/m_b$ with numerical coefficients which allow to cover all relevant values for the heavy quark…
We predict that the four-loop contribution \beta_3 to the QCD \beta function in the MS-bar prescription is given by \beta_3\simeq 23,600(900) - 6,400(200) N_f + 350(70) N_f^2 + 1.5 N_f^3, where N_f is the number of flavours and the…
We present a calculation of the B0 - anti-B0 mixing matrix element in the framework of QCD sum rules for three-point functions. We compute alpha_s corrections to a three-point function at the three-loop level in QCD perturbation theory,…
Two-gluon radiative corrections to the $b\to c\ell\nu$ decay width have been computed analytically as an expansion in terms of \frac{m_c}{m_b} << 1 in the kinematical limit of zero lepton invariant mass. The obtained results match smoothly…
In this talk I report on the results of a recent calculation of the \alpha_s corrections to a three-point correlation function at the three-loop level in QCD perturbation theory, which allows one to extract the matrix element of B^0 -\bar…
Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we compute the three-loop QCD corrections to the decay constant of $B_c$. We reconstruct the analytical expressions for the three-loop renormalization constant and the…
We calculate the set of O(alpha_s) corrections to the double differential decay width dGamma_77/(ds_1*ds_2) for the process B -> X_s gamma gamma originating from diagrams involving the electromagnetic dipole operator O_7. The kinematical…
We calculate the complete ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the quark decay $b\to ccs$ taking full account of the quark masses, but neglecting penguin contributions. For a c to the b quark mass ratio $m_c/m_b= 0.3$ and a strange quark…
We discuss a model-independent framework for the analysis of the radiative B-meson decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. We present a factorization formula for the treatment of B -> V gamma matrix…
The two-loop QCD radiative corrections to the $B_c$ meson leptonic decay rate are calculated in the framework of NRQCD factorization formalism. Two types of master integrals appearing in the calculation are obtained analytically for the…
For the first time, we compute three-loop contributions to all triple vertices in QCD at the symmetric point. The analytic results are obtained in massless QCD with an arbitrary color group in the Landau gauge. All new loop integrals are…
In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we compute both the polarized and the unpolarized decay widths for the processes $\eta_b(\chi_{bJ})\to J/\psi J/\psi$, accurate up to next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) in…
We derive factorization theorems for Lambda_QCD/mb power corrections to inclusive B-decays in the endpoint region, where mX^2 ~mb Lambda_QCD. In B-> Xu e nu our results are for the full triply differential rate. A complete enumeration of…
We evaluate the important two-loop matrix element <s gamma| Q_2 | b> of the operator (cbar gamma^mu P_L b) (sbar gamma_mu P_L b) contributing to the inclusive radiative decay B -> X_s gamma. The calculation is performed in the NDR scheme,…
We compute the $\alpha_s^2 n_f$ perturbative QCD contribution to semileptonic B decay, including the finite mass of the charm quark. This result provides an estimate of the size of the two-loop correction, which is found to be about 50\% of…
I review the NLO QCD calculations of the branching ratio for B--> X_s gamma in the SM. Including the leading electromagnetic corrections, one obtaines BR(B-> X_s gamma)=(3.32 +- 0.30)*10^{-4}. Confronting theory with the newest data, an…
Ongoing efforts to reduce the perturbative uncertainty in the B -> Xs gamma decay rate have resulted in a theory estimate to NNLO in QCD. However, a few contributions from multi-parton final states which are formally NLO are still unknown.…
