Generalized on-shell renormalization of heavy quarks

A generalized on-shell (GOS) renormalization scheme of QCD is developed to evaluate the renormalization of heavy quark wave functions and currents. All large logarithms arising from the physical range of quark masses and momentum transferq 2 can be absorbed into wave function and vertex renormalization. Our results are more general than those of the heavy quark effective theory and agree with the latter only at zero recoil. The proposed GOS scheme is very suitable for the μ/m Q expansion. As an application we discuss the renormalization of the flavour changing currentsb-c, t-b andt-c.

A detailed analysis ofD-,D s - andB-meson transition form factors and the determination of |V cb |

We study various transition form factors in semi-leptonic decays ofD-,Ds-,B- andBs-mesons using the pole dominance assumption. The vector current form factor is found to have only a negligible contribution to the decay rates involving pseudoscalar to vector transitions. In view of this fact we evaluate the form factors from present experimental data on the exclusive semi-leptonic decay rateΓ and the ratioΓl/ΓT of the longitudinal and transverse partial decay rates. Some non-leptonic two-body decay rates are also investigated using the factorization ansatz. Consistency with the semi-leptonic decays is found. The transition form factors of theD- andDs-mesons are found to contradict the predic…

Unified QCD determination of all vector meson coupling constants

Coupling constants of all vector mesons are determined in QCD by means of a new QCD sum-rule method. The results are found to be sensitive to the binding energy (i.e. meson and quark mass differences). For standard values of quark masses we obtainf ϱ=202 MeV,f K*=216 MeV,f D*=212±22 MeV,f B*=138±42 MeV, $$f_{D_s^* } = 238 \pm 21\,MeV$$ and $$f_{B_s^* } = 163 \pm 45\,MeV$$ . Based on this approach the spin-flavour symmetry for the heavy quark systems are also discussed.

Lepton hadron angular correlations in semileptonic ? decays

We studyT-odd triple momentum correlations in exclusive semileptonic ∋-decays into three pseudoscalar mesons. We define asymmetry ratios that measure theseT-odd correlations and show how to separate the unitarity contribution from the trueCP-violating contributions. TheCP-violating contributions to the asymmetry ratios would have to come from new non-Standard Model sources as theCP-violating Standard Model contributions to the asymmetry ratios are zero. We discuss two extensions of the Standard Model that give rise to nonvanishingCP-violating triple momentum correlations, namely a left-right symmetric model and a multi Higgs boson model. Numerical results on triple momentum correlations are…

A SIMULTANEOUS ANALYSIS FOR THE ΔI = 1/2 RULE, DIRECT CP VIOLATION, $K^0 -\bar K^0$ AND $B^0 -\bar B^0$ MIXINGS

To have a consistent picture, a simultaneous analysis for the K → ππ isospin amplitudes A0 and A2, the ΔI = 1/2 rule, CP-violating ε′/ε, and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixings within the standard model is made by employing the recent reanalyzed values of the parameters and relating the penguin matrix elements involved in the K → ππ decays to the known matrix elements of the ΔI = 1/2 operator (Q2 − Q1) and ΔI = 3/2 operator (Q2 + 2Q1). The allowed values for all the relevant quantities are calculated in detail. A general bound for top quark mass mt, CP phase δ and ε′/ε is found: for δ in the second quadrant, 84 GeV ≤ mt ≤ 250 GeV , δ ≤ 173° and 1 × 10−4 < ε′/ε ≤ 1 × 10−2…
