Weak Decays Beyond Leading Logarithms
read the original abstract
We review the present status of QCD corrections to weak decays beyond the leading logarithmic approximation including particle-antiparticle mixing and rare and CP violating decays. After presenting the basic formalism for these calculations we discuss in detail the effective hamiltonians for all decays for which the next-to-leading corrections are known. Subsequently, we present the phenomenological implications of these calculations. In particular we update the values of various parameters and we incorporate new information on m_t in view of the recent top quark discovery. One of the central issues in our review are the theoretical uncertainties related to renormalization scale ambiguities which are substantially reduced by including next-to-leading order corrections. The impact of this theoretical improvement on the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is then illustrated in various cases.

Symmetry-Breaking Effects on Form Factors and Observables in $B \to K_0^*(1430)\mu^+\mu^-$ Decay
Perturbative symmetry-breaking corrections shift the branching ratio and normal lepton polarization asymmetry by ~3% in B → K0*(1430) μ+μ−, so larger experimental deviations would indicate new physics.
