Perturbative Corrections to a Sum Rule for the Heavy Quark Kinetic Energy
Abstract
We calculate the perturbative corrections to order αs2β0 to the sum rule derived from the second moment of the time-ordered product of b c currents near zero recoil. This sum rule yields a bound on λ1, the expectation value of the b quark kinetic energy operator inside the B meson. The perturbative corrections significantly weaken the bound relative to the tree level result, yielding λ1 < -0.15 GeV2.
