Radiative corrections to hard spectator scattering in $B\to \pi \pi$ decays

Abstract

We present the calculation of the next-to-leading corrections to the tree amplitudes which appear in the description of non-leptonic B-decays in the factorization approach. These corrections, together with radiative corrections to the jet functions, represent the full next-to-leading contributions to the dominant hard spectator scattering term generated by operators $O_{1,2}$ in the decay amplitudes. Using obtained analytical results we estimate $B\to \pi \pi$ branchings fractions in the physical (or BBNS) factorization scheme. We have also found that the imaginary part generated in the hard spectator scattering term is rather large compared to the imaginary part of the vertex contribution.
