The semileptonic decays in the perturbative QCD approach beyond the leading-order

arXiv:1207.0265 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.86.114025

Abstract

In this paper we first calculate the form factors of and transitions by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach with the inclusion of the next-to-leading-order(NLO) corrections, and then we calculate the branching ratios of the corresponding semileptonic decays (here denotes and ). Based on the numerical calculations and phenomenological analysis, we found the following results: (a) For and transition form factors $F_{0,+,\rmt}(q^2)$, the NLO pQCD predictions for the values of $F_{0,+,\rmt}(0)$ and their -dependence agree well with those obtained from other methods; (b) For and decay modes, the NLO pQCD predictions for their branching ratios agree very well with the measured values; (c) By comparing the pQCD predictions for with the measured decay rate we extract out the magnitude of : ; (d) We also defined several ratios of the branching ratios, and , and presented the corresponding pQCD predictions, which will be tested by LHCb and the forthcoming Super-B experiments.
