Chiral corrections to the scalar form factor in B{sub q}{yields}D{sub q} transitions
Abstract
We consider chiral loop corrections to the scalar form factor in B{sub q}{yields}D{sub q}l{nu} decays. First we consider chiral corrections to the 1/m{sub Q} suppressed operators and then we propose a procedure for the extraction of the relevant form factor using lattice QCD results. In particular, the extraction of a B*{yields}D* matrix element on the lattice can be used to determine all the necessary 1/m{sub Q} suppressed contributions to the scalar form factor in B{yields}D transitions. In the case of (B{sub s}{yields}D{sub s})/(B{yields}D) decay rate ratios we speculate that effects of kinematics and chiral corrections tend to cancel for the scalar form factor contributions. In particular the 1/m{sub Q} suppression of chiral corrections is compensated by the potentially large SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking corrections. The calculated corrections are relevant for the precise determination of possible new physics effects in B{sub q}{yields}D{sub q}l{nu} decays.
