Charmonium contribution to $B \rightarrow K\ell^+\ell^-: testing the factorization approximation on the lattice

Abstract

We report the current status of a study of charmonium contribution to $B \rightarrow K\ell^+\ell^-$ on the lattice. Our lattice calculation tests the factorization approximation for this contribution. In order to control the problem of the artificial divergence, we focus on the low $q^2$ region with a small b-quark mass. We also take into account the renormalization constants of relevant four-quark operators calculated through the temporal moments. Results suggest a violation of the factorization approximation.
