Description

We evaluate the one-loop corrections to the Wilson coefficient of the kinetic operator in the operator product expansion of the differential B-bar → Xclν-bar decay rate. With a moderate cut on the lepton energy, the one-loop terms change the kinetic operator contributions to spectral moments by about 20%. This amounts to a small correction for leptonic and hadronic moments, except for those which vanish at the lowest order, where the effect can be sizable. Together with a two-loop calculation of the leading-power rate and an evaluation of the one-loop corrections to the Wilson coefficient of the chromo-magnetic operator, our results will allow for a high-precision determination of |Vcb| and the b- and c-quark masses
