abstract

We compute perturbative QCD corrections to the lifetime splitting between the charged and neutral $B$ meson in the framework of the heavy quark expansion. These next-to-leading logarithmic corrections are necessary for a meaningful use of hadronic matrix elements of local operators from lattice gauge theory. We find the uncertainties associated with the choices of renormalization scale and scheme significantly reduced compared to the leading-order result. We include the full dependence on the charm-quark mass $m_c$ without any approximations. Using hadronic matrix elements estimated in the literature with lattice QCD we obtain $\tau(B^+)/\tau(B^0_d)=1.053\pm 0.027\pm 0.017$, where the effects of unquenching and $1/m_b$ corrections are not yet included. The lifetime difference of heavy baryons $\Xi^0_b$ and $\Xi^-_b$ is also briefly discussed.

  1. $B$-meson decay width up to $1/m_b^3$ corrections within and beyond the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Complete analytic HQE matching coefficients for B-meson decay widths up to 1/m_b^3 are derived for generic new-physics operators, including previously missing weak-annihilation terms.

  2. Total decay rates of $B$ mesons at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At NNLO in QCD, the heavy quark expansion predicts the B+, Bd, and Bs decay widths and semileptonic branching fractions within experimental uncertainties, with a systematic 4% shortfall in the central width values.

  3. HQET sum rules for matrix elements of dimension-six four-quark operators for meson lifetimes within and beyond the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    HQET sum rules yield the first four-quark bag parameters for B-meson lifetimes with beyond-standard-model operators, plus updated standard-model results.

  4. Constraining $B$-Mesogenesis models with inclusive and exclusive decays

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combining inclusive and exclusive B-meson decay rates, the authors rule out B-Mesogenesis dark matter masses above 3 GeV and find lifetime ratios do not further constrain the model.

  5. Revisiting lifetimes of doubly charmed baryons

    hep-ph 2023-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Updated predictions within the heavy quark expansion confirm the lifetime hierarchy τ(Ξ_cc^+) < τ(Ω_cc^+) < τ(Ξ_cc^++) with τ(Ξ_cc^++) = 0.32 ± 0.05 +0.08/-0.07 ps matching LHCb data and provide ratios for the other states.

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10
