\Lambda_b matrix element of four-quark operator relevant to its lifetime is reanalyzed by QCD sum rule. The new ingredients introduced are that (1) more vacuum condensates are considered; (2) different quark-hadron duality is adopted; and…
The B meson lifetime ratios are calculated to the order of $1/m_b^3$ in the heavy quark expansion. The predictions of those ratios are dependent on four unknown hadronic parameters $B_1$, $B_2$, $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$, where $B_1$…
We review the B meson lifetime problems and nonspectator effects. The predictions of B meson lifetime ratios depend on four unknown hadronic parameters $B_1$, $B_2$, $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$, where $B_1$ and $B_2$ parametrize the…
We extract the matrix elements of four quark operators O_{L,S} relevant to the B_s and \bar B_s life time difference from QCD sum rules. We find the vacuum saturation approximation works reasonably well, i.e., within 10%. We discuss the…
Status of nonfactorizable effects in hadronic charmless B decays is reviewed. Implications of new CLEO measurements on $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B\to\eta' K$ are discussed. Nonfactorizable effects due to color ocet 4-quark operators are…
Heavy quark expansion can nicely explain the lifetime of $\Lambda_{b}$. However, there still exist sizable uncertainties from the four-quark operator matrix elements of $\Lambda_{b}$ in $1/m_{b}^{3}$ corrections, which describe the…
Theory predictions of heavy-hadron lifetime ratios critically depend on precise determinations of the dimension-six spectator effects arising from the double insertion of the weak effective $|\Delta B| = 1$ Hamiltonian. In the presence of…
Using the relation between the harmonic oscillator wave function and the light quark scattering form factor, the expectation values of colour-straight four-quark operators are evaluated and found to be directly proportional to the cubic…
We compute by QCD sum rules the matrix elements of the relevant four-quark operators appearing in the expression of the $\Lambda_b$ inclusive decay rates at the order $1/m_b^3$. The results suggest that $1/m_b^3$ corrections are not…
We present a model-independent study of spectator effects, which are responsible for the lifetime differences between beauty hadrons. These effects can be parametrized in terms of hadronic matrix elements of four four-quark operators. For…
The HQET sum rule analysis for the \Lambda_b matrix element of the four-quark operator relevant to its lifetime is reported. Our main conclusion is that the lifetime ratio \tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B^0) can be as low as 0.91.
The QCD-based operator-product-expansion technique is systematically applied to the study of charmed meson lifetimes. We stress that it is crucial to take into account the momentum of the spectator light quark of charmed mesons, otherwise…
I discuss a QCD sum rule determination of the four-quark operator matrix elements contributing to the $\Lambda_b$ inclusive decay rates at the order $m_b^{-3}$. The results suggest that $1/m_b^3$ corrections are not responsible of the…
We evaluate the matrix elements of the four-quark operators which contribute to the lifetimes of $B$-mesons and the $\Lambda_b$-baryon. We find that the spectator effects are not responsible for the discrepancy between the theoretical…
We develop perturbative QCD factorization theorems for inclusive b-hadron decays, in which radiative corrections characterized by the hadronic scale, the b-hadron mass, and the W boson mass are absorbed into a heavy hadron distribution…
Using the expansions of the heavy meson decay widths in the heavy quark mass and QCD sum rules for estimates of corresponding matrix elements,\, we calculate the $D^{\pm,o,s}$ and $B^{\pm,o,s}$ meson lifetimes. The results for D mesons are…
We study the light-quark mass and spatial volume dependence of the matrix elements of $\Delta B=0$ four-quark operators relevant for the determination of $V_{ub}$ and the lifetime ratios of single-$b$ hadrons. To this end, one-loop diagrams…
We summarize theoretical calculations of B_c decays and lifetime in the framework of QCD sum rules and compare the results with the estimates by the methods of Operator Product Expansion in the inverse heavy quark masses as well as of…
In the framework of three-point QCD sum rules, the form factors for the semileptonic decays of B_c --> B_s(B_s^*) l \nu are calculated with account for the Coulomb-like alpha_s/v-corrections in the heavy quarkonium. The generalized…
The lifetimes of bottom and charmed hadrons are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from the spectator effects such as weak $W$-annihilation and Pauli interference. Spectator effects…
