Non-factorizable effects in B-anti-B mixing

Abstract

We study the B-parameter (``bag factor'') for B-anti-B mixing within a recently developed heavy-light chiral quark model. Non-factorizable contributions in terms of gluon condensates and chiral corrections are calculated. In addition, we also consider 1/m_Q corrections within heavy quark effective field theory. Perturbative QCD effects below μ= m_b known from other work are also included. Considering two sets of input parameters, we find that the renormalization invariant B-parameter is B = 1.51 +- 0.09 for B_d and B = 1.40 +- 0.16 for B_s.
