abstract

We calculate, in the framework of QCD sum rules and to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory, the universal function $\xi_3(v\cdot v')$ which appears at order $1/m_Q$ in the heavy quark expansion of meson weak decay form factors. We find that radiative corrections of order $\alpha_s$ are very important. Over the kinematic range accessible in semileptonic decays, $\xi_3(v\cdot v')$ is proportional to the leading-order Isgur-Wise function $\xi(v\cdot v')$ to very good accuracy. Taking into account all sources of uncertainty, we estimate $\xi_3/\xi=(0.6\pm 0.2)$. This reduces the theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of $|\,V_{cb}|$ from $\bar B\to D\,\ell\, \bar\nu$ transitions. A measurement of the form factor ratio $A_2/A_1$ in $\bar B\to D^*\ell\,\bar\nu$ decays can be used to test our prediction.

    Computes f_B, residual mass Λ, kinetic matrix element λ1, and Isgur-Wise slope in instanton vacuum with finite-mass heavy-light vertex calibrated to B data.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the latest Belle and Belle II data, CLN, BGL, and HQET fits give consistent exclusive |Vcb| values near 39.7 times 10^-3, confirming the persistent 2 to 3 sigma gap with the inclusive value.

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A full heavy-quark expansion to order 1/m_c^2 for all B to D and D* form factors gives a consistent theory determination of |V_cb| = (40.3 ± 0.8) x 10^-3 and sharp predictions for R(D^(*)).

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Fits to B to D(*) l nu form factors with BSZ, BGL and HQET yield |V_cb| matching PDG average for BGL but smaller for HQET, while data still allows non-zero new physics contributions.
