Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon(1S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency of this expansion is shown both at low and high orders. Our method improves the behavior of the perturbation series for semileptonic and nonleptonic inclusive decay modes, as well as for exclusive decay form factors. The results are applied to the determination of the semileptonic B branching ratio, charm counting, the ratio of B -> X tau nu and B -> X e nu decay rates, and form factor ratios in B -> D* e nu decay. We also comment on why it is not possible to separate perturbative and nonperturbative effects in QCD.

  1. Data determination of HQET parameters in inclusive charm decays

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first data-driven determination of the HQET parameters mu_pi^2, mu_G^2, rho_D^3 and rho_LS^3 for D0, D+ and Ds mesons is obtained from inclusive semileptonic decay widths and electron energy moments.
