The factorization properties of the radiative decays B->V gamma are analyzed at leading order in 1/m_b using the soft-collinear effective theory. It is shown that the decay amplitudes can be expressed in terms of a B->V form factor evaluated at q^2=0, light-cone distribution amplitudes of the B and V mesons, and calculable hard-scattering kernels. The renormalization-group equations in the effective theory are solved to resum perturbative logarithms of the different scales in the decay process. Phenomenological implications for the B->K* gamma branching ratio, isospin asymmetry, and CP asymmetries are discussed, with particular emphasis on possible effects from physics beyond the Standard Model.

  1. The Simplest B Decay, Precisely

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A complete QCD×QED, next-to-leading-power factorization now gives a percent-level prediction for B⁻→μ⁻ν̄(γ) with all structure-dependent electromagnetic corrections included.

  2. SCET sum rules for $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+\ell^-$, $\Lambda \gamma$ decays

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SCET light-cone sum rules give NLO soft form factors and small non-factorizable corrections for Λ_b → Λ decays, with a Λ_b → Λ γ branching fraction consistent with data.

  3. Radiative B to tensor meson decays at NLO in SCET

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An NLO SCET calculation predicts B(B to K2*(1430) gamma) = (16.7 ± 6.4 ± 1.2) × 10^-6, close to the experimental average, with much smaller predictions for the a2 and f2 modes.
