Abstract

We provide a systematic treatment of the previously discovered power-enhanced QED corrections to the leptonic decay () in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). Employing two-step matching on SCET and SCET, and the respective renormalization group equations, we sum the leading-logarithmic QED corrections and the mixed QED-QCD corrections to all orders in the couplings for the matrix element of the semileptonic weak effective operator . We propose a treatment of the -meson decay constant and light-cone distribution amplitude in the presence of process-specific QED corrections. Finally we include ultrasoft photon radiation and provide updated values of the non-radiative and radiative branching fractions of decay that include the double-logarithmic QED and QCD corrections.
