Abstract

We report a comprehensive set of results for B-meson heavy-to-light transition form factors calculated using a truncation of, and expression for, the transition amplitudes in which all elements are motivated by the study of Dyson-Schwinger equations in QCD. In this relativistic approach, which realizes confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, all physical values of momentum transfer in the transition form factors are simultaneously accessible. Our results can be useful in the analysis and correlation of the large body of data being accumulated at extant facilities, and thereby in probing the standard model and beyond.

  27. NB. In our concrete calculations we use a Euclidean metric, with: {γμ,γν}=2δμν; γμ†=γμ; a·b=∑i=14aibi; and tr[γ5γμγνγργσ]=−4ϵμνρσ, ϵ1234=1. For a spacelike vector kμ, k2>0.

  28. NB. With the models we employ for the mesons’ Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes, these integrals are absolutely convergent. On the other hand, in QCD a renormalization constant is required to guarantee that these expressions are well defined [29, 30].

Therefore the parametrization does not incorporate the additional lnp2-suppression characteristic of QCD. It is a useful simplification, which introduces model artefacts that are easily identified and accounted for. ε=10−4 is introduced only to decouple the large- and intermediate-p2 domains.
