Perturbative QCD effects in heavy meson decays

  • 1. Washington Univ., Seattle (USA). Inst. for Nuclear Theory

Description

The amplitude for the exclusive nonleptonic decay of a heavy meson into two light pseudoscalar mesons is analyzed using the factorization formalism of perturbative QCD for exclusive reactions at large momentum transfer. We calculate the form factor b → u transition and compare it to the old quark model calculation and the new one based on the light cone formulation of the full quark model wave function. The new results we obtain are smaller by a factor of 2 - 3 as compared to the old value. (orig.)
