Exclusive chromomagnetism in heavy-to-light FCNCs
Exclusive chromomagnetism in heavy-to-light FCNCs
We compute matrix elements of the chromomagnetic operator, often denoted by O 8 , between B/D states and light mesons plus an off-shell photon by employing the method of light-cone sum rules at leading twist-2. These matrix elements are relevant for processes such as B?K ? l + l ? and they can be seen as the analogues of the well-known penguin form factors T 1,2,3 and f T . We find a large CP -even phase for which we give a long-distance interpretation. We compare our results to QCD factorization for which the spectator photon emission is end-point divergent. The analytic structure of the correlation function used in our method admits a complex anomalous threshold on the physical sheet. The meaning and handling within the sum rule approach of the anomalous threshold is discussed.

Abstract
We compute matrix elements of the chromomagnetic operator, often denoted by O 8 , between B/D states and light mesons plus an off-shell photon by employing the method of light-cone sum rules at leading twist-2. These matrix elements are relevant for processes such as B?K ? l + l ? and they can be seen as the analogues of the well-known penguin form factors T 1,2,3 and f T . We find a large CP -even phase for which we give a long-distance interpretation. We compare our results to QCD factorization for which the spectator photon emission is end-point divergent. The analytic structure of the correlation function used in our method admits a complex anomalous threshold on the physical sheet. The meaning and handling within the sum rule approach of the anomalous threshold is discussed.
