4 B meson light-cone distribution amplitude (Grozin, Neubert, 1997; BBNS 1999/2000; MB, Feldmann, 2000) if stat(µ)φ B+ (ω, µ) = 1 dt e itω 0 ( q sy s)(tn )n/ γ 5 (Y s h v)(0) B v µ 2π 1 λ B (µ) = dω 0 ω Φ dω B+(ω, µ), σ n(µ) = λ B (µ) µ 0 ω lnn 0 ω Φ B+(ω, µ) Need only inverse, inverse-log moments, since ω Λ QCD. Not related to local operators. 1-loop renormalization known (Lange, Neubert, 2003). Not related to moments, since R 0 dω ω n... does not commute with renormalization. Three-particle amplitudes have been studied (Kawamura et al, 2001 ; Huang et al, 2006; Khodjamirian, Mannel, Offen, 2006; Geyer, Witzel, 2007; Descotes-Genon, Offen, 2009) λ B from QCD sum rules of various forms (Braun, Korchemsky, Ivanov, 2003; Khodjamirian, Mannel, Offen, 2005; Ball, Kou, 2003): λ B (1 GeV) = (460 ± 110) MeV [BKI] Models of the entire distribution amplitude (Lee, Neubert, 2005; Kawamura, Tanaka, 2009/2010) Upper limits on B γlν: λ B > 669 MeV (591 MeV) (BABAR, 2007); λ B > 300 MeV (BABAR, 2009); M.

12 BABAR analysis of B γlν B = τ Bd de γ de l PS-Cuts d 2 Γ de γ de l (BABAR, Phys.Rev. D80 (2009) [ ]) (BABAR, ): E γ (0.45, 2.35) GeV, E l (1.875, 2.64) GeV, cos θ(l, γ) < 0.36 B < 1.7(2.3) 10 6 λ B > 669(591) MeV (BABAR, Phys.Rev. D80 (2009) [ ]): E γ > 1.0 GeV B < λ B > 0.3 GeV Nothing from BELLE!? But both analyses do not include radiative corrections and theoretical uncertainties. Wrong input for power corrections from (Pirjol, Korchemsky, Yan, 1999) M. Beneke (RWTH Aachen), B γlν and λ B Colour & Flavour, 14 October /15

13 Present limits B 10 6 Cuts corresponding the BABAR NLL + power corrections LO NLL B B B λ B > 669 (591) MeV 372 (331) MeV [incl. V ub ] 310 (274) MeV [excl. V ub ] λ B > 300 MeV MeV [excl. V ub ] with data from BABAR2009 But the first line needs to be taken with caution. Unpublished data analysis, E γ cut too low. No stringent constaints yet. M. Beneke (RWTH Aachen), B γlν and λ B Colour & Flavour, 14 October /15

14 Outlook SuperB factories should do this. BELLE? Br B Γ Ν E Γ 1 GeV E Γ 1.7 GeV B Example: Br (B γl ν, E γ > 1.7 GeV) = (2.0 ± 0.4) 10 6 λ B = MeV Dominant theoretical uncertainty about equally from σ 1, σ 2 and ξ. M. Beneke (RWTH Aachen), B γlν and λ B Colour & Flavour, 14 October /15

15 Conclusion B γlν can determine λ B at SuperB factories. Radiative corrections are under control at NLL. Interesting for study of power corrections. F V F A is power-suppressed and depends only on f B (to all orders? work in progress) M. Beneke (RWTH Aachen), B γlν and λ B Colour & Flavour, 14 October /15
