abstract

The on-shell matrix elements, or couplings $g_{H H^*(H_1)\gamma}$, describing the $B(D)_q^* \to B(D)_q \gamma$ and $B_{1 q} \to B_q \gamma$ ($q = u,d,s$) radiative decays, are determined from light-cone sum rules at next-to-leading order for the first time. Two different interpolating operators are used for the vector meson, providing additional robustness to our results. For the $D^*$-meson, where some rates are experimentally known, agreement is found. The couplings are of additional interest as they govern the lowest pole residue in the $B(D) \to \gamma$ form factors which in turn are connected to QED-corrections in leptonic decays $B(D) \to \ell \bar \nu$. Since the couplings and residues are related by the decay constants $f_{H^*(H_1)}$ and $f^T_{H^*(H_1)}$ respectively, we determine them at next-leading order as a by-product. The quantities $\{ f_{H^*}^T, f_{H_1},f_{H_1}^T\}$ have not previously been subjected to a QCD sum rule determination. All results are compared with the existing experimental and theoretical literature.
