Weak-annihilation rare radiative decays of B-mesons

Original · EN

In this talk, we present the predictions for a number of radiative decays B₍ₛ₎→ Vγ, with the vector meson in the final state, which proceed through the weak-annihilation mechanism. Within the factorization approximation, we take into account the photon emission from the B-meson loop and from the vector-meson loop. The highest branching ratios for the weak-annihilation reactions reported here are B(B⁰ₛ→ J/ψγ)=1.5· 10⁻⁷ and B(B-→ Dₛ*⁻γ)=1.7· 10⁻⁷, the estimated accuracy of these predictions being at the level of 20%.
