$B^{\ast }B\pi (\gamma )$ couplings and $D^*\rar Dπ(γ) $-decays within a $1/M$-expansion in $full$ QCD

Abstract

To leading order in ${\alpha }_s$, we evaluate the leading and non-leading $1/M_b$ corrections to the $B^{\ast }B\pi$ and $B^{\ast }B\gamma$ couplings using QCD spectral moment sum rules in the full theory. We find that, for large $M_b$ and contrary to the heavy-to-light $B\rar π(ρ) l\bar ν$ form factors, which are dominated by the $soft$ light quark vacuum condensate, these couplings are governed by the $hard$ perturbative graph, like other heavy-to-heavy transitions. We also find that for the $B^{*}\rar Bγ$, the $1/M_b$ correction is mainly due to the perturbative and light quark condensate contributions originating from the graphs involving the heavy quark part of the electromagnetic current, which are essential for explaining the large charge dependence in the observed $D^{*-}\rar D^-γ$ and $D^{*0}\rar D^0γ$ decays. Our $best$ numerical predictions {\it without any free parameters} for the $B^{\ast }$-meson are: $g_{B^{\ast -}{B}^0{\pi }^{-}}\simeq 14\pm 4$, $Γ_{B^{*-}\rar B^-γ}\simeq (0.10\pm 0.03)$ keV and the large charge dependence of the ratio: ${Γ_{B^{*-}\rar B^- γ}}/ {Γ_{B^{*0}\rar B^0 γ}}\simeq 2.5~$. For the $D^{\ast }$-meson, we find: $Γ_{D^{*-}\rar D^0π^-}\simeq 1.54Γ_{D^{*0}\rar D^0π^0} \simeq (8\pm 5)$ keV, $Γ_{D^{*-}\rar D^-γ}\simeq (0.09^{+0.40}_{-0.07} )$ keV and $Γ_{D^{*0}\rar D^0γ}\simeq (3.7\pm 1.2)$ keV, where the branching ratios agree within the errors with the present data, while the total widths $Γ_{D^{*0}\rar all} \simeq (11\pm 4)$ keV and $Γ_{D^{*-}\rar all}\simeq (12\pm 7)$ keV are much smaller than the present experimental upper limits.
