Distribution amplitudes of heavy-light mesons
Abstract
A symmetry-preserving approach to the continuum bound-state problem in quantum field theory is used to calculate the masses, leptonic decay constants and light-front distribution amplitudes of empirically accessible heavy-light mesons. Here, the inverse moment of the B-meson distribution is particularly important in treatments of exclusive B-decays using effective field theory and the factorisation formalism; and its value is therefore computed: λB(ζ = 2GeV) = 0.54(3) GeV. As an example and in anticipation of precision measurements at new-generation B-factories, the branching fraction for the rare B → γ(Eγ)lνl radiative decay is also calculated, retaining 1/m2B and 1/E2γ corrections to the differential decay width, with the result ΓB→γlνl/ΓB = 0.47(15) on Eγ > 1.5 GeV.
