Measurements are restricted to this region. BELLE Example: extracting V ub from the semi-leptonic decay Precise measurements are restricted to the small M X region because of charm background.

10 Dressed Gluon Exponentiation the jet function Evolution equation for the jet (also for the DIS structure function F 2 ): d ln F N 2 (Q2 ) d ln Q 2 = d ln J N(Q; µ F ) d ln Q 2 = 1 dx xn x J α s (1 x)q + O(1/N) 2 Usually the Sudakov anomalous dimension J(α s ) is computed order by order and the equation is solved to a fixed logarithmic accuracy. Infrared sensitivity from the x 1 limit appears through the coupling and is not regularized. Imagine that the anomalous dimension J(α s ) is known to all orders, Borel representation: J α s (µ 2 ) = C F Λ 2 u du B β µ 2 J (u). so the Borel representation of the evolution kernel: d ln J N (Q; µ F ) d ln Q 2 = C F β Λ 2 u du B Q 2 J (u)γ( u) Γ(N) Γ(N u) + 1 u + O(1/N) Infrared sensitivity appears as renormalon ambiguity in the evolution kernel parametrically enhanced power corrections O(NΛ 2 /Q 2 ) in the Sudakov exponent Einan Gardi (Cambridge) Workshop on first principles non-perturbative QCD of hadron jets, Paris, January 26 1

11 Dressed Gluon Exponentiation the soft function Evolution equation for the soft function and the corresponding Borel representation: d ln S N (Q; µ F ) d ln Q 2 = 1 = C F β dx xn x S α s (1 x) 2 Q + O(1/N) 2 Λ 2 u du B Q 2 S (u)γ( 2u) Γ(N) Γ(N 2u) + 1 2u + O(1/N) What does one gain? (assuming B S (u) is known) All order resummation of running coupling effects renormalization scale invariance Upon choosing a prescription (e.g. PV) for the Borel integral, the divergent sum is defined. Cancellation of certain renormalon ambiguities can then take place. Landau singularities are absent. The pattern of power corrections observable dependent shape function can be studied: singularities in Γ( 2u) = power corrections (NΛ/Q) k in the exponent, except for B S (u) =. However, QCD perturbation theory gives the power expansion: B S (u) = 1 + s 1 u + For DGE one needs to know B S (u) also away from the origin.

20 DGE in inclusive B decays: summary The leading renormalon cancels out with kinematic power corrections involving the pole mass. Requires renormalon resummation with the same prescription in both the Sudakov exponent and the pole mass. DGE yields definite predictions for decay spectra in the on-shell approximation. Beyond the logarithmic accuracy at hand (NNLL), the Borel sum of the exponent is constrained by information on renormalon residues. For the quark distribution in an on-shell heavy quark B S (u = 1/2) was computed(!) and B S (u = 1) vanishes. CF Sud(m, N) PV = PV exp du T(u) β Λ 2 m 2 u 1 u B S (u)γ( 2u) N 2u 1 B J (u)γ( u) (N u 1). Contrary to Sudakov resummation with fixed logarithmic accuracy, the DGE prediction is free of Landau singularities and stable. The DGE spectrum smoothly extends beyond the perturbative endpoint Its support is close to the physical one, provided that B S (u) is not too large at intermediate u. The renormalon analysis indicates that infrared sensitivity to the quark distribution in the meson appears only through the third power of NΛ/m b, i.e. it is very small up to N m b /Λ.

25 Conclusions Resummed perturbation theory can be directly used as an approximation to inclusive B meson decay spectra, without a leading power non-perturbative function! Application to B X s γ: Predictions for moments in the experimentally accessible range E γ > E agree well with data. Potential measurement of m b. Application to charmless semileptonic decay : The event fraction for an invariant mass cut P + P < (1.7 GeV) 2 has ±1% accuracy. Consistent values for V ub are obtained from two different cuts.
