Summing Sudakov logarithms inBXsγin effective field theory

Abstract: We construct an effective field theory valid for processes in which highly energetic light-like particles interact with collinear and soft degrees of freedom, using the decay B → X s γ near the endpoint of the photon spectrum, x = 2E γ /m b → 1, as an example. Below the scale µ = m b both soft and collinear degrees of freedom are included in the effective theory, while below the scale µ = m b √ x − y, where 1 − y is the lightcone momentum fraction of the b quark in the B meson, we match onto a theory of biloca… Show more

“…In particular, Soft Collinear Effective Theory [25][26][27][28] (SCET) is an effective theory for QCD that describes the dynamics of highly energetic partons. It has been successfully applied to improve the theoretical accuracy in the evaluation of high energy cross sections at lepton [29]- [32] and hadron colliders [33]- [35].…”

“…A similar quantity of interest is the matrix element between different states, say, a Bmeson and a π-meson, of a non-local quark bilinear (with properly chosen flavor quantum numbers). This generalized parton distribution (GPD) plays a central role in the recently established [19] soft pion theorems for certain soft factors in the Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) [20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32] description of exclusive B decays to final states containing, possibly, several soft pions. This, in turn, is useful in extending the applicability of SCET to the calculation of non-resonant final states, as in, for example, B → Kπℓℓ [33] or B → Kπγ [34,35].…”
