Chromomagnetic dipole-operator corrections inB¯→XsγatO(β0αs2)

subject

description

We calculate the fermionic corrections to the photon-energy spectrum of $\overline{B}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{X}_{s}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ which arise from the self-interference of the chromomagnetic dipole operator ${Q}_{8}$ at next-to-next-to-leading order by applying naive non-Abelianization. The resulting $\mathcal{O}({\ensuremath{\beta}}_{0}{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s}^{2})$ correction to the $\overline{B}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{X}_{s}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ branching ratio amounts to a relative shift of $+0.12%$ ($+0.27%$) for a photon-energy cut of 1.6 GeV (1.0 GeV). We also comment on the potential size of resummation and nonperturbative effects related to ${Q}_{8}$.
