QCD Predictions for Lepton Spectra in Inclusive Heavy Flavour Decays
read the original abstract
We derive the lepton spectrum in semileptonic beauty decays from a nonperturbative treatment of QCD; it is based on an expansion in $1/m_Q$ with $m_Q$ being the heavy flavour quark mass. The leading corrections arising on the $1/m_Q$ level are completely expressed in terms of the difference in the mass of the heavy hadron and the quark. Nontrivial effects appear in $1/m_Q^2$ terms affecting mainly the endpoint region; they are different for meson and baryon decays as well as for beauty and charm decays.

Inclusive $\bar B_s\mapsto X_{\bar sc} \ell \bar \nu$ decays from lattice QCD: computational strategy and a first physical result
Lattice QCD strategy interpolates sub-physical mass data with OPE to obtain the inclusive anti-B_s to X_sc l nu decay rate, yielding 7% precision on limited ETMC ensembles via a new four-point correlator method.
