B -> pi, B(s) -> K form factors and Vub determination

(7 Oct 2008)

X Abstract

We present a QCD light-cone sum rule (LCSR) estimation of the B -> pi, B -> K, and Bs -> K form factors calculating gluon radiative corrections at next-to-leading order. The MS-bar b-quark mass is used, instead of the one-loop pole mass employed in the previous analyses. For B -> K and Bs -> K form factors the SU(3)-symmetry breaking corrections are included, both in the hard-scattering kernels and in the distribution amplitudes (DAs). By combining the predicted value for f^+_Bpi(0) with the product |Vub f^+_Bpi| extracted from the B -> pi l nu measurement, we obtain the LCSR prediction for Vub CKM matrix element.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
