Abstract

Long-distance QCD effects in Bd,s+-γ decays are analyzed. We show that the contribution of the light vector-meson resonances related to the virtual photon emission from valence quarks of the B-meson, which was not considered in previous analyses, strongly influences the dilepton differential distrubution. Taking into account photon emission from the b-quark loop, weak annihilation, and Bremsstrahlung from leptons in the final state, we give predictions for dilepton spectrum in Bd, s +-γ decays within the Standard model.
