Higher Order Power Corrections in Inclusive B Decays
Abstract
We discuss order 1/mb4 and 1/mb5 corrections in inclusive semileptonic decay of a B meson. We identify relevant hadronic matrix elements of dimension seven and eight and estimate them using the ground-state saturation approximation. Within this approach the effects on the integrated rate and on kinematic moments are estimated. The overall relative shift in Vcb turns out about +0.4% as applied to the existing fits. Similar estimates are presented for B -> Xs+γ decays.
