Subleading Jet Functions in Inclusive B Decays

Abstract

The contribution of subleading jet functions to inclusive decay distributions of $B$ mesons are derived from a systematic two-step matching of QCD current correlators onto soft collinear and heavy quark effective theory. Focusing on the tree level matching of QCD onto soft collinear effective theory, the subleading jet functions are defined to all orders in ${\alpha }_s({\mu }_i)$ (with ${\mu }_i^2\sim m_b{\Lambda }_{\mathrm{QCD}}$) and are calculated explicitly at first order in ${\alpha }_s({\mu }_i)$. We present explicit expressions for the decay rates of $B\to X_{u}l\bar{\nu }$ and the $Q_{7\gamma }-Q_{7\gamma }$ contribution to $B\to X_s\gamma$, where the subleading jet functions are multiplied by a tree level hard function and appear in a convolution with the leading order shape function. Together with the recent two loop calculation of the leading order hard function for $B\to X_{u}l\bar{\nu }$, this paper will allow for a more precise description of inclusive B decays in the end point region.
