But both tend to cancel too bad! Largest uncertainty is input parameter dependence: Allows C/T ππ 0.7, if λ B is small. The colour-suppressed amplitudes are probably dominated by spectator-scattering. But arg (C/T ππ) < 15. Perturbation theory works at scale m b and m b Λ. No indication of further large radiative corrections. M. Beneke (RWTH Aachen) Southampton, December 15, / 26
