We present a calculation of subleading 1/m_b corrections to spectator effects in the ratios of beauty hadron lifetimes in heavy-quark expansion. We find that these effects are sizable and should be taken into account in systematic analyses of heavy hadron lifetimes. In particular, the inclusion of 1/m_b corrections brings into agreement the theoretical predictions and experimental observations of the ratio of lifetimes of \Lambda_b-baryon and B_d meson. We obtain \tau(B_u)/\tau(B_d) = 1.06 \pm 0.02, \tau(B_s)/\tau(B_d)= 1.00 \pm 0.01, \tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B_d)= 0.86 \pm 0.05.

  1. $B$-meson decay width up to $1/m_b^3$ corrections within and beyond the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Complete analytic HQE matching coefficients for B-meson decay widths up to 1/m_b^3 are derived for generic new-physics operators, including previously missing weak-annihilation terms.

  2. Total decay rates of $B$ mesons at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At NNLO in QCD, the heavy quark expansion predicts the B+, Bd, and Bs decay widths and semileptonic branching fractions within experimental uncertainties, with a systematic 4% shortfall in the central width values.

  3. HQET sum rules for matrix elements of dimension-six four-quark operators for meson lifetimes within and beyond the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    HQET sum rules yield the first four-quark bag parameters for B-meson lifetimes with beyond-standard-model operators, plus updated standard-model results.

  4. Constraining $B$-Mesogenesis models with inclusive and exclusive decays

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combining inclusive and exclusive B-meson decay rates, the authors rule out B-Mesogenesis dark matter masses above 3 GeV and find lifetime ratios do not further constrain the model.

  5. Averages of $b$-hadron, $c$-hadron, and $\tau$-lepton properties as of 2023

    hep-ex 2024-11 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    The Heavy Flavour Averaging Group reports updated world averages for b-hadron, c-hadron, and tau-lepton properties including branching fractions, lifetimes, mixing, CP violation, and CKM elements.
