Pushing the Heavy Quark Expansion for $b\to cl\barν$ to Higher Order in $1/m_b$

Published 20 Oct 2024 in hep-ph | (2410.15324v1)

Abstract: The Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) is the major tool to perform calculations for inclusive semileptonic $B\to X_cl\bar{\nu}$ and, consequently, for precision determinations of the CKM matrix element $V_{cb}$. To further improve precision, we pushed the expansion to $1/m_b5$ to include even higher order terms in the HQE. Notably, at $1/m_b5$, intrinsic charm'' (IC) contributions proportional to $1/(m_b^3m_c^2)$ occur, which are numerically expected to be sizeable. We will therefore firstly discuss the determination of a reduced set of HQE parameters at $1/m_b^5$, employing Reparametrisation Invariance (RPI) to this end. Consequently, we will show how the IC andgenuine" $1/m_b5$ contribute to the different kinematical moments of $B\to X_cl\bar{\nu}$, focusing in this work on the lepton energy $E_l$ moments. Using the lowest-lying state saturation ansatz'' (LLSA), we estimate the size of these contributions and observe a partial cancellation between the IC andgenuine'' $1/m_b5$ contributions, leading to an overall small contribution.
