Description

We comment on a discrepancy in the literature concerning the decay b→se+e-. An expression is presented for the total decay rate, including short-distance QCD corrections. We find that the total inclusive branching ratio is slightly enhanced by QCD, from 3.4x10-6 to 4.1x10-6 at mt=100 GeV, for example
