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…
We compute the O(\alpha_s^2) corrections to the differential rate of the semileptonic decay b -> clv at the "intermediate recoil" point, where the c-quark mass and the invariant mass of the leptons are equal. The calculation is based on an…
We present complete O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the decay b-->c+l+nu at the point where the invariant mass of the leptons sqrt{q^2} equals the c quark mass. We use this result, together with previously obtained corrections at the ends of…
This paper presents $\alpha_s$ corrections to the inclusive semitauonic $B \to X_c \tau \bar{\nu}_\tau$ decay width and leptonic invariant mass spectrum up to order $1/m_b^3$ in the heavy quark expansion. Analytical results with full…
We present a complete $O(\alpha_s^2)$ correction to the differential width of the inclusive semileptonic decay $b\to cl\nu_l$ at the kinematical point of vanishing invariant mass of the leptons, $q^2=0$. Together with the recently computed…
The rate of the semileptonic decay b to c l v is calculated with order alphas^2 accuracy, as an expansion around the limit of equal masses of the b and c quarks. Recent results obtained around the limit of the c-quark much lighter than b…
Details of a recent calculation of O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the decay b -> c,l,nu_l, taking into account the c-quark mass, are described. Construction of the expansion in the mass ratio m_c/m_b as well as the evaluation of new four-loop…
Bauer, Ligeti and Luke have recently proposed a new method for measuring |V_{ub}| in inclusive semileptonic B decays, using a cut on the lepton invariant mass to discriminate against b->c transitions. We investigate the structure of the…
The semileptonic decay of a b-quark, b--> c l nu, is considered in the relativistic limit where the decay products are approximately collinear. Analytic results for the double differential lepton energy distributions are given for finite…
We calculate the radiative corrections to the nonleptonic inclusive B decay mode $b\rightarrow c\bar u d$ taking into account the charm quark mass. Compared to the massless case, corrections resulting from a nonvanishing c quark mass…
We extend previous computations of the second order QCD corrections to semileptonic b \to c inclusive transitions, to the case where the charged lepton in the final state is massive. This allows accurate description of b \to c \tau \bar…
The differential decay spectrum $d\Gamma/dE_e dq^2$ for the semileptonic decay of an unpolarized hadron containing a b-quark, and the decay spectrum $d\Gamma/dE_e dq^2 d\!\cos\theta$ for polarized $\Lambda_b$ decay are computed to second…
We compute O(alpha_s^2) QCD corrections to the lepton invariant mass spectrum in the decay b --> u l nu_l, relevant for the determination of the CKM matrix element |V_{ub}|. Our method can also be used to evaluate moments of the lepton…
We summarize recent results on QCD corrections to various observables in semileptonic $b$ quark decays. For massless leptons in the final state we present effects of such corrections on triple differential distribution of leptons which are…
Recent advances in improving extractions of |Vcb| and m_b from spectra of semileptonic inclusive B decay are reported. Results of a general moment analysis of the lepton energy spectrum and the hadronic invariant mass spectrum are…
We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the leptonic invariant mass ($q^2$) spectrum of semileptonic $b \to c$ inclusive decays, taking into account the mass of the charm quark and the charged lepton in the final…
We calculate the radiative corrections to the nonleptonic inclusive B decay mode $b\to c ud$ taking into account the charm quark mass. The corrections increase the decay rate by (4--8)\%, depending on the renormalization point. Using these…
The decay of B mesons can be predicted within the Heavy Quark Expansion as the decay of a free bottom quark plus corrections which are suppressed by powers of $1/m_b$. This contribution to Loops&Legs 2024 describes the calculation of the…
We measured two moments of the lepton momentum spectrum in B -> X l nu, where l= e or mu, for p_l > 1.5 GeV/c. From these we derive the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) parameters Lambda-bar(MS-bar) = 0.39 +- 0.03(stat) +- 0.06(sys) +- 0.12(th)…
We propose a method for a QCD based calculation of one-particle inclusive decays of the form B \to \bar D X or B \to \bar D^* X. It is based on the heavy mass limit and a short distance expansion of the amplitudes, which yield a power…
