We compute corrections of order $\alpha_s^3$ to the decay $b \to c \ell \bar\nu$ taking into account massive charm quarks. In the on-shell scheme large three-loop corrections are found. However, in the kinetic scheme the three-loop corrections are below 1\% and thus perturbation theory is well under control. We furthermore provide results for the order $\alpha_s^3$ corrections to $b \to u \ell \bar\nu$ and the third-order QED corrections to the muon decay which will be important input for reducing the uncertainty of the Fermi coupling constant $G_F$.

  1. Inclusive $\bar B_s\mapsto X_{\bar sc} \ell \bar \nu$ decays from lattice QCD: computational strategy and a first physical result

    hep-lat 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Lattice QCD strategy interpolates sub-physical mass data with OPE to obtain the inclusive anti-B_s to X_sc l nu decay rate, yielding 7% precision on limited ETMC ensembles via a new four-point correlator method.

  2. Complete one-loop QED corrections to $D_s^+$ leptonic decays and impact on the CKM unitarity test

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Complete one-loop QED and electroweak corrections to D_s^+ leptonic decays give |V_cs| = 0.991 ± 0.007 from latest data, aligning second-column CKM unitarity with the Standard Model.

  3. Inclusive Charmless Non-Leptonic B Decays at NLO within and beyond the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Complete NLO QCD corrections to charmless inclusive non-leptonic B-decay widths are computed for the full BSM operator set, yielding 26 constrained directions in Wilson coefficient space.

  4. Predictions for $b$-baryon lifetimes at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    NNLO-QCD corrections to the free b-quark decay and NLO corrections to dimension-five operators reduce uncertainties in HQE predictions for b-baryon lifetimes, yielding excellent agreement with experiment.

  5. Muon lifetime and Fermi constant: an update

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 4.5

    Updated Δq = (−4 384 678 ± 34)×10^{-9} reduces theory error on the muon lifetime by an order of magnitude and gives G_F = 1.166 378 59(59)×10^{-5} GeV^{-2}.
