Heavy mass expansion, light-by-light scattering through pointlike quanta, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon
Contributions from light-by-light scattering to ${(g}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{-}2)/2,$ the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, are mediated by the exchange of charged fermions or scalar bosons. Assuming large masses M, pointlike couplings for the virtual particles and employing the technique of large mass expansion, analytical results are obtained for virtual fermions and scalars in the form of a series in ${(m}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}{/M)}^{2}.$ This series is well convergent even for the case ${M=m}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}.$ For pointlike virtual fermions, the expansion confirms published analytical formulas. For virtual scalars, the result can be used to evaluate the contribution from poi…
B0−B¯0Mixing beyond Factorization in QCD Sum Rules
We present a calculation of the B°-B° mixing matrix element in the framework of QCD sum rules for three-point functions. We compute α s corrections to a three-point function at the three-loop level in QCD perturbation theory, which allows one to extract the matrix element with next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy. This calculation is imperative for a consistent evaluation of experimentally measured mixing parameters since the coefficient functions of the effective Hamiltonian for B 0 -B 0 mixing are known at NLO. We find that radiative corrections violate factorization at NLO; this violation is under full control and amounts to 10%. The resulting value of the B parameter is found to be B B …
