Penguins with charm and quark–hadron duality

Penguins with charm and quark–hadron duality
Penguins with charm and quark–hadron duality
The integrated branching fraction of the process B?X s l + l ? is dominated by resonance background from narrow charmonium states, such as B?X s ??X s l + l ?, which exceeds the non-resonant charm-loop contribution by two orders of magnitude. The origin of this fact is discussed in view of the general expectation of quark–hadron duality.

The situation in B?X s l + l ? is contrasted with charm-penguin amplitudes in two-body hadronic B decays of the type B?? ?, for which it is demonstrated that resonance effects and the potentially non-perturbative $c\bar{c}$ threshold region do not invalidate the standard picture of QCD factorization. This holds irrespective of whether the charm quark is treated as a light or a heavy quark.

Abstract

The integrated branching fraction of the process B?X s l + l ? is dominated by resonance background from narrow charmonium states, such as B?X s ??X s l + l ?, which exceeds the non-resonant charm-loop contribution by two orders of magnitude. The origin of this fact is discussed in view of the general expectation of quark–hadron duality.

The situation in B?X s l + l ? is contrasted with charm-penguin amplitudes in two-body hadronic B decays of the type B?? ?, for which it is demonstrated that resonance effects and the potentially non-perturbative $c\bar{c}$ threshold region do not invalidate the standard picture of QCD factorization. This holds irrespective of whether the charm quark is treated as a light or a heavy quark.
