Effects from the charm scale in K+ -> pi+ nu nubar

Adam F. Falk, Adam Lewandowski, Alexey A. Petrov

We consider contributions to the rare decay K+ -> pi+ nu nubar which become nonlocal at the charm scale. Compared to the leading term, such amplitudes are suppressed by two powers…

Two-Loop Renormalization of Heavy--Light Currents at Order 1/m_Q in the Heavy-Quark Expansion

Thomas Becher, Matthias Neubert, Alexey A. Petrov

We present exact results, at next-to-leading order in renormalization-group improved perturbation theory, for the Wilson coefficients appearing at order 1/m_Q in the heavy-quark ex…

New Value of M_mu/M_e from Muonium Hyperfine Splitting

Richard Hill

The complete contribution to the muonium hyperfine splitting of relative order alpha^3(m_e/m_mu)ln(alpha) is calculated. The result amounts to 0.013 kHZ, much smaller than suggeste…

Lorentz Invariant Baryon CHPT

T. Becher

Using the example of the elastic -amplitude, we discuss the low energy expansion of QCD amplitudes in the sector with baryon number one. We show that the chiral expansion of th…

Enhanced Gluino Box Contribution to epsilon'/epsilon in SUSY

Matthias Neubert

We show that in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model gluino box diagrams can yield a large CP-violating Delta(I)=3/2 contribution to s->d+q(bar)+q flavor-changing neutra…

QCD Factorization and CP Asymmetries in Hadronic B Decays

Matthias Neubert

We review recent advances in the theory of strong-interaction effects and final-state interactions in hadronic weak decays of heavy mesons. In the heavy-quark limit, the amplitudes…

Neutrino Physics with Small Extra Dimensions

Matthias Neubert

We study neutrino physics in the context of the localized gravity model with non-factorizable metric proposed by Randall and Sundrum. Identifying the right-handed neutrino with a b…

Spectrum and decay matrix elements of B and D-mesons in lattice NRQCD

Joachim Hein

We discuss recent results on the excitation spectra of B and D-mesons obtained in the framework of non-relativistic lattice QCD in the quenched approximation. The results allow for…

Width difference in the D0-anti-D0 system

Alexey A Petrov

The motivation most often cited in searches for D0-anti-D0 mixing lies with the possibility of observing a signal from new physics which dominates that from the Standard Model. We…

Applications of QCD Factorization in Hadronic B Decays

Matthias Neubert

We review recent advances in the theory of strong-interaction effects and final-state interactions in hadronic weak decays of heavy mesons. In the heavy-quark limit, the amplitudes…

Top quark mass definition and top quark pair production near threshold at the NLC

Oleg Yakovlev, Stefan Groote

We suggest an infrared-insensitive quark mass, defined by subtracting the soft part of the quark self energy from the pole mass. We demonstrate the deep relation of this definition…

Nonperturbative Techniques for QED Bound States

Richard Hill

Advantages of using a low-energy effective theory to study bound state properties are briefly discussed, and a nonperturbative implementation of such an effective theory is describ…

M. Beneke, G. Buchalla, M. Neubert +1

We examine some consequences of the QCD factorization approach to non-leptonic B decays into and final states, including a set of enhanced power corrections. Among the ro…

QCD factorization for exclusive, non-leptonic B meson decays: General arguments and the case of heavy-light final states

M. Beneke, G. Buchalla, M. Neubert +1

We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body -meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The factorization formula incorporates elements…

On the Inclusive Determination of V_{ub} from the Lepton Invariant Mass Spectrum

Matthias Neubert

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 again…

Richard J. Hill, G. Peter Lepage

We present a new, simplified analysis of the low-energy electron-positron interaction, and use the resulting effective theory to calculate the binding effects that contribute to th…
