decays assisted by QCD light-cone sum rules
Anshika Bansal, Alexander Khodjamirian, Thomas Mannel
We suggest a new method to analyse the rare decays (), combining QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with hadronic dispersion relations. As our main…
QCD corrections for subleading powers in for the nonleptonic transition
Thomas Mannel, Daniel Moreno, Alexei A. Pivovarov
We compute next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the terms of the Heavy Quark Expansion for the contribution to inclusive nonleptonic bottom hadron decays induced by t…
Inclusive Semileptonic Decays to Order
Thomas Mannel, Ilija S. Milutin, K. Keri Vos
Inclusive semileptonic decays can be described in the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) and allow for a precision determination of the CKM element . We ca…
Pushing the Heavy Quark Expansion for to Higher Order in
Ilija S. Milutin, Thomas Mannel, K. Keri Vos
The Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) is the major tool to perform calculations for inclusive semileptonic and, consequently, for precision determinations of the CKM ma…
