Next-to-Leading Order QCD Corrections to Spectator Effects in Lifetimes of Beauty Hadrons
M. Ciuchini, E. Franco, V. Lubicz +1
Theoretical predictions of beauty hadron lifetimes, based on the heavy quark expansion up to and including order 1/mb^2, do not to reproduce the experimental measurements of the li…
Two Body B Decays, Factorization and LambdaQCD/mb Corrections
M. Ciuchini, E. Franco, G. Martinelli +2
By using the recent experimental measurements of B -> pi pi and B -> K pi branching ratios, we find that the amplitudes computed at the leading order of the LambdaQCD/mb expansion…
Charming Penguins Strike Back
M. Ciuchini, E. Franco, G. Martinelli +2
By using the recent experimental measurements of B to pi pi and B to K pi branching ratios, we find that factorization is unable to reproduce the observed BRs even taking into acco…
Penguin Contractions and Factorization in B -> K pi Decays
M. Ciuchini, E. Franco, G. Martinelli +2
We study Lambda_{QCD}/m_B corrections to factorization in B -> K pi decays. First, we analyze these decay channels within factorization, showing that, irrespectively of the value o…
