abstract

We accomplish for the first time the next-to-leading-order computation of the weak annihilation contribution to the exclusive electroweak penguin decays $B \to \left \{K, \pi \right \} \ell^{+} \ell^{-}$ with an energetic light-flavour meson, which is an essential missing piece of the complete QCD correction to the matrix elements of hadronic operators in the weak effective Hamiltonian. Both the hard functions and the jet functions in the perturbative factorization formulae from the short-distance fluctuations at the two distinct scales $m_b$ and $\sqrt{m_b \, \Lambda}$ are determined at ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ with the soft-collinear factorization technique. We then demonstrate that the one-loop weak annihilation correction can bring about the noticeable impacts on theory predictions for the CP asymmetries and the isospin asymmetry in the $B \to \pi \ell^{+} \ell^{-}$ decays.

  1. SCET sum rules for $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+\ell^-$, $\Lambda \gamma$ decays

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SCET light-cone sum rules give NLO soft form factors and small non-factorizable corrections for Λ_b → Λ decays, with a Λ_b → Λ γ branching fraction consistent with data.

  2. Determination of $B$-meson distribution amplitudes from $B\to \pi,K,D$ transition form factors

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Global fit of B to pi, K, D form factors from lattice QCD and LCSR yields lambda_B = 217(19) MeV with model variations and |V_ub| = 3.68(13) x 10^{-3}.

  3. Probing ALP couplings to electroweak gauge bosons

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Rare two-body meson decays give the strongest current bounds on the ALP-W coupling for light ALPs, with Z-boson decays and future lepton colliders extending the reach to heavier masses.

  4. The rare decay $B^+ \to K^+\ell^+\ell^-(\nu\bar{\nu})$ under the QCD sum rules approach

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A QCD light-cone sum-rule calculation with the authors' kaon distribution amplitudes predicts B(B+ to K+ nu nubar) = 4.14 x 10^-6 and B(B+ to K+ l+l-) around 6.6 x 10^-7, consistent with other SM estimates.
