Reparametrization invariance relations are determined for the inclusive decay spectra of heavy hadrons. They connect the leading order result to the lambda_1 term, and the lambda_2 and rho_2 terms, and imply that the lambda_1 and rho_2 terms in the total rate occur in the combinations 1+lambda_1/(2m_Q^2) and lambda_2-rho_2/m_Q. The relations are satisfied by the known results for the hadronic decay tensors for B -> X e nu, B -> X gamma and B -> X e+ e- decays. An interesting field-theory result, the connection between currents in full and effective theories and the change in currents under field redefinitions, is discussed. The hadron masses are given to order (Lambda_QCD)^3/m_Q^2 including radiative corrections, and provide an example illustrating the relation between renormalization and reparametrization invariance and mu-independence of 1/m_Q^3 corrections to physical quantities.

  1. Predictions for $b$-baryon lifetimes at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    NNLO-QCD corrections to the free b-quark decay and NLO corrections to dimension-five operators reduce uncertainties in HQE predictions for b-baryon lifetimes, yielding excellent agreement with experiment.
