Symmetry-breaking corrections to heavy meson form factor relations

Abstract

In the heavy quark limit, the form factors for semileptonic and rare radiative B decays into light mesons are related by heavy quark spin symmetry. Here we compute the leading corrections of order Λ/m_Q to these symmetry relations, showing also how to include hard gluon effects to any order in α_s(m_Q). The subleading correction to the form factor relation for B\to πcan be computed exactly in the soft pion limit. For decays into vector mesons, the matrix elements of two local dimension-4 operators are needed, one of which vanishes in the constituent quark model. A few applications are briefly discussed.
