9 The Curse of QCD The weak interaction we are after is masked by QCD effects, which are completely non-perturbative Weak interaction effect we are after Non-perturbative effects from QCD

10 The Curse of QCD The weak interaction we are after is masked by QCD effects, which are completely non-perturbative Weak interaction effect we are after Non-perturbative effects from QCD Crucial to understand long distance physics to extract weak flavor physics from these decays

11 Effective Field Theories Separate short distance from long distance effects Short distance physics is calculable perturbatively Long distance physics simplifies in limit ΛQCD/Q 0 Long distance physics is independent of the details of effects at short distances Measure the long distance effects in one process and use results in other processes

14 General Idea SCET is effective theory describing interactions of collinear with soft particles Separate distance scales d 1/E and d 1/ΛQCD and study interactions of long distance modes Factorization theorems emerge naturally in SCET Separate d 1/E & d 1/Λ. Study non-perturbative effects in limit ΛQCD/E 0 At leading order, coupling between soft and collinear simple and in many cases absent Factorization is not assumed in SCET. The theory will tell you when amplitudes factorize and when not

15 SCET in pictures π E mb/2 E mb/2 B π 0.1fm 1fm b Heavy b quark almost at rest in B meson u E m b /2 (b) E m b /2 b quark decays into three light quarks, two in the same direction, one in opposing direction u d 1fm! 0.4fm 0.2fm! 1fm energetic quark requires spectator of the B meson to form pion. Factorization more subtle two quarks are very close until far from B meson. Thus no coupling between B and pion

25 Universality of jet functions Only a single jet function arises for these decays The same jet function as in semileptonic decays This jet function gets convoluted with B and light meson wave function Define ζ J BL = J ϕ B ϕ L Resums the jet function to all orders in α s ( ΛE) Only rely on perturbation theory in α s (m b )
