The Parton Model Approach to Inclusive B meson Decays

Abstract

We test the parton model approach to inclusive $B \ra γX_s$ and $B \ra e \barν X_u$ processes by calculating a few moments of the distribution function. The $1/m_Q$ expansion of $b$-quark distribution function is discussed. We show that Peterson's fragmentation function is useful as the distribution function of $b$-quark but requires some improvements. By extension of Peterson's arguments, we obtain the refined form for the distribution function and with the refined function, we obtain the consistent results with the HQET.
