CP asymmetry in flavour-specific B decays beyond leading logarithms
read the original abstract
We compute next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the CP asymmetry a_{fs} = Im(Gamma_{12}/M_{12}) in flavour-specific B_{d,s} decays such as B_d->X l nu or B_s->D^-_s pi^+. The corrections reduce the uncertainties associated with the choice of the renormalization scheme for the quark masses significantly. In the Standard Model we predict a^d_{fs} = -(5.0 +- 1.1)*10^{-4}. As a by-product we also obtain the width difference in the B_d system at next-to-leading order in QCD.

Searches for $B^0\to K^+\pi^-\tau^+\tau^-$ and $B_s^0\to K^+K^-\tau^+\tau^-$ decays
LHCb reports the first upper limits on B0 → K+π−τ+τ− and Bs0 → K+K−τ+τ− branching fractions, with recast limits of 2.8×10−4 on B0 → K*(892)0 τ+τ− at 95% CL that improve prior bounds by an order of magnitude.

Next-to-next-to-leading QCD corrections to the $\mathbf{B^+}$-$\mathbf{B_d^0}$, $\mathbf{D^+}$-$\mathbf{D^0}$, and $\mathbf{D_s^+}$-$\mathbf{D^0}$ lifetime ratios
Three-loop perturbative corrections to B and D meson lifetime ratios are calculated, producing values that agree with experiment when using HQET sum rules or lattice inputs.
