abstract

Theoretical predictions for inclusive semileptonic B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. This method gives theoretically consistent and phenomenologically useful results. Perturbation theory is well behaved, and the largest theoretical error in the predictions coming from the uncertainty in the quark mass is eliminated. The results are applied to the determination of $|V_{cb}|$, $|V_{ub}|$, and $\lambda_1$.

  1. Leading-renormalon-free Trace-anomaly-subtracted $\sigma$-mass for Heavy Quarks up to Five Loops in QCD

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The sigma-mass, obtained by subtracting the trace-anomaly contribution from the pole mass, is free of the leading infrared renormalon, with its relation to the pole mass now known to five loops.

  2. Data determination of HQET parameters in inclusive charm decays

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first data-driven determination of the HQET parameters mu_pi^2, mu_G^2, rho_D^3 and rho_LS^3 for D0, D+ and Ds mesons is obtained from inclusive semileptonic decay widths and electron energy moments.
