14 Theory Status Experimental Input Lepton Energy Moments I (Buchmüller, Flächer)

15 Theory Status Experimental Input Lepton Energy Moments II (Buchmüller, Flächer)

16 Theory Status Experimental Input V cb,incl = (41.6 ± 0.6) 10 3

17 Perspectives Theory Status Experimental Input Currently: δv cb V cb (2%) theo Main sources of uncertainties: Mass of the b quark: δm b 50 MeV Higher order QED and QCD radiative corrections Higher Order of the 1/m b expansion Mass ratio r = m 2 c/m 2 b Extraction of the HQE Parameters Parton Hadron Duality (?)

18 General Method: OPE Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm Standard approach: Perform an OPE for the correlator (j µ = b L γ µ c L ) T µν (q, p B ) = d 4 x e iqx B(p B ) T (j µ (x)j ν(0) B(p B ) At tree level: Look at the Feynman diagramm q p b = m b v + k Set p b = m b v + k (with v = p B /M B ) and expand in the residual momentum k

19 Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm Match the expression to the operators: [(...): symmetrization] k µ bid µ b k µ k ν bid (µ id ν) b k µ k ν k ρ bid (µ id ν id ρ) b... To get the antisymmetric pieces: Calculate (one, two, three...) Gluon matrix elements Allows to identify the order of covariant derivatives

20 Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm Nonperturbative Input: Hadronic Parameters Forward matrix elements: hadronic input parameters B(p B ) bb B(p B ) = 1 + O(1/mb) 2 B(p B ) bid µ b B(p B ) = 0 + O(1/m b ) B(p B ) b(id) 2 b B(p B ) = 2M B µ 2 π + O(1/mb) 2 B(p B ) b( iσ µν )id µ id ν b B(p B ) = 2M B µ 2 G + O(1/m b ) B(p B ) bid µ (ivd)id µ b B(p B ) = 2M B ρ 3 D + O(1/m b ) B(p B ) b( iσ µν )id µ (ivd)id ν b B(p B ) = 2M B ρ 3 LS + O(1/m b )

21 Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm Some remarks for experts b is still the full QCD field B(p B ) is still the full state The hadronic parameters still depend on m b : µ π for B mesons differs from µ π for D mesons Tree level only, no discussion of renorm. issues here Advantage 1: No non-local, non-perturbative matrix elements in the expansion. Advantage 2: Simple and straightforward generalization to higher orders in the 1/m b expansion. Disadvantage 1: Non-perturbative Parameters are not universal for all heavy mesons.

22 External Field Method Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm Keep track of the order of the covariant derivatives Use p b = m b v + k m b v + id Q + id Write the charm Propagator as S BGF = i /Q + i /D m c Charm quark in the gluonic background of B meson Expand as a geometric series ( i)s BGF = + 1 /Q m c 1 (i /D) /Q m c 1 /Q m c (i /D) 1 /Q m c (i /D) 1 /Q m c 1 + /Q m c

At µ = m c ɛ: bc cb = 0 and hence bc cb (m c + ɛ) = (4π) 2 ρ3 D ln m2 b m 2 c

31 Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm m b m c Λ QCD m c is considered non-perturbative: Corresponds to the b u case Intrinsic charm = weak annihilation RG flow bc cb ρ D remains the same Both ρ D and bc cb are non-perturbative parameters This is not realistic for the b c case

32 Calculation of high orders in 1/m b Intrinsic charm For the realistic case m c Λ QCD : m c is a perturbative scale Intrinsic charm contributions vanish at scales µ m c At the current leve: No additional uncertainty from intrinsic charm matrix elements In higher orders of the 1/m Expansion: At Order 1/m m+n may be terms of order 1/m n b 1/mm c Leading term at tree level: 1/m 3 b 1/m2 c 1/m 5 At order α s (m c ): α s 1/m 3 b 1/m c α s /m 4

33 Recent Developments: Soft Collinear Effective Theory Problem: How to deal with energetic light degrees of freedom = Endpoint regions of the spectra? More than two scales involved! Inclusive Rates in the Endpoint become (Korchemski, Sterman) dγ = H J S with * = Convolution H: Hard Coefficient Function, Scales O(m b ) J: Jet Function, Scales O( m b Λ QCD ) S: Shape function, Scales O(Λ QCD )

34 Basics of Soft Collinear Effective Theory Heavy-to-light decays: Kinematic Situations with energetic light quarks hadronizing into jets or energetic light mesons p fin : Momentum of a light final state meson p 2 fin O(Λ QCD m b ) v p fin O(m b ) Use light-cone vectors n 2 = n 2 = 0, n n = 2: p fin = 1 2 (n p fin) n and v = 1 2 (n + n) Momentum of a light quark in such a meson: p light = 1 2 [(n p light) n + ( n p light )n] + p light

35 SCET Power Counting Define the parameter λ = Λ QCD /m b The light quark invariant mass (or virtuality) is assumed to be p 2 light = (n p light )( n p light ) + (p light) 2 λ 2 m 2 b The components of the quark momentum have to scale as (n p light ) m b ( n p light ) λ 2 m b p light λm b

36 A brief look at SCET (Bauer, Stewart, Pirjol, Beneke, Feldmann...) QCD quark field q is split into a collinear component ξ and a soft one with ξ = 1 4 /n /n + q The Lagrangian L QCD = q(i /D)q is rewritten in terms of the collinear field L = 1 2 ξ/n + (in D)ξ ξi 1 /n + /D in + D + iɛ 2 i /D ξ Expansion according to the above power couning: in + D = in + + gn + A c + gn + A us = in + D c + gn + A us Leading L becomes non-local: Wilson lines

37 B ππ, B K π in QCD Factorization (Beneke, Buchalla, Neubert, Sachrajda) Partial Calculations of the hard scattering kernels to NNLO available Small strong phases due to power suppression / perturbation theory Data indicate sizable power corrections At subleading level: Too many nonperturbative parameters Results agree quantitatively with the ones from QCD LC Sum rules (Khodjamirian, Melic, Melcher, M.)
