Studies of CP violation in B-mesons performed by BELLE andBABAR, firmly established the correctness of the Cabbibo–Koba-yashi–Maskawa paradigm at the few percent level. These studieswill be continued, when the super-B factory in Japan will comeon line. A powerful tool to test the CKM picture is the unitar-ity of the CKM-matrix. A combined fit to all available data gives|V ub| = 3.58(13) × 10−3 [1]. This number should be comparedwith the value |V ub| = 3.38(36) × 10−3 extracted from exclusiveB → heν̄ decays, where the hadron h is either a pion or a ρ-meson, and with |V ub| = 4.27(38) × 10−3 which is obtained frominclusive measurements of B → Xueν̄ decays [2].

parameters. These non-perturbative parameters can be determinedfrom fits to semileptonic decays of B-mesons to charmed finalstates B → Xceν̄ [6–11] and then used in the description of B →Xueν̄ transitions, facilitating the extraction of the CKM matrix ele-ment |V ub| from observables in the latter.

phase-space coverage in B → Xueν̄ decays. Indeed, in recent ex-perimental measurements it was possible to fully reconstruct theB B̄ kinematics from their decay products, thereby allowing to ex-tend selection cuts for the b → u process into the charm-rich re-gions and yet, successfully reject the b → Xceν̄ background. Forexample, two recent measurements by BELLE [17] and BABAR [18]present partial decay rates and a variety of kinematic distributionsfor b → u transitions with the cut on the electron energy as lowas El > 1 GeV. These cuts are inclusive enough so that the localOPE expansion can be used with confidence to describe B → Xueν̄decays.

We summarize now the status of the theoretical descriptionof B → Xueν̄ decays, under the assumption that the local OPEis applicable. The OPE expansion in the inverse b-quark mass mbis well-established for moments of the hadronic invariant massand the hadronic energy [3–5]. The leading order term in the OPEexpansion is given by the partonic b → u transition. The total de-cay rate for b → u is known in perturbative QCD through O(α2

s )

[19] and a large number of kinematic distributions and their mo-ments are known through O(αs) [20–23]. Also, the so-called BLMO(β0α

2s ) corrections [24], that can be derived by considering the

contribution of a massless qq̄ pair to the b → u transition, areknown for the decay rate and main kinematic distributions [25–27]. The only kinematic distribution in b → u decays that is knownbeyond the BLM approximation is the electron–neutrino invariantmass distribution, computed in Ref. [28]. While the BLM approxi-mation is known to account for a significant fraction of the com-plete O(α2

s ) correction, the precision of current and, especially,forthcoming measurements of |V ub|, the relatively large value ofαs(mb) and a large variety of kinematic cuts employed in exper-imental analyses make it very desirable to compute NNLO QCDcorrections to the fully-differential b → u decay rate beyond theBLM approximation. The goal of this Letter is to provide such acomputation.

The calculation of NNLO QCD corrections to the b → ueν̄ decayrequires three ingredients: (i) two-loop amplitudes for the b →ueν̄ transition; (ii) one-loop amplitudes for b → ugeν̄; (iii) treeamplitudes for b → uggeν̄ and b → uqq̄eν̄ . The two-loop ampli-tudes were computed by several authors in recent years [29–33].The one-loop amplitudes for b → ugeν̄ can be extracted from thecomputation reported in Ref. [34]. Finally, the tree amplitudes forb → uggeν̄ and b → uqq̄eν̄ are straightforward to calculate andcompact results can be obtained by using the spinor-helicity for-malism. These amplitudes can be found in Ref. [35].

The well-known challenge for fully-differential NNLO QCD com-putations is to put these different contributions together in a con-sistent way. This is not easy to do since individual contributionsexhibit infra-red and collinear divergences and correspond to pro-cesses with different final-state multiplicities. For the computationreported in this Letter, we use a method proposed in Refs. [36,37] (see also [38]) which combines the idea of sector decomposi-tion [39–41] with the phase-space partitioning [42] in such a waythat singularities are extracted from matrix elements in a process-independent way. This framework leads to a parton level integratorwhich can be used to compute an arbitrary number of kinematicdistributions in a single run of the program. We have recentlygiven a detailed description of the relevant computational tech-niques in a paper [35] that describes a calculation of NNLO QCDcorrections to a related process t → be+ν and so we do not repeatit here. Instead, we focus on the illustration of phenomenologicalcapabilities of the program that are relevant for the description ofb → u transitions.

Numerical results reported below are obtained within the stan-dard framework for perturbative QCD computations. We employthe on-shell renormalization for the b-quark field and the b-quark

mass. The strong coupling constant is renormalized in the MS-scheme. We note that we do not include the charm mass depen-dence when we compute contributions of additional qq̄ pairs tothe decay rate. As was explicitly shown in Ref. [30], contributionsof virtual charm loops for physical value of mc can be obtained,with a good accuracy, from the bottom quark loops by equatingcharm and bottom masses. We will use this recipe in what fol-lows. We write the differential decay rate for b → Xueν̄ throughNNLO in perturbative QCD as

dΓ = dΓ (0) + as dΓ (1) + a2s dΓ (2) +O

(α3

), (1)

where as = αs/π and αs is the MS strong coupling constant at thescale μ = mb . By integrating the fully-differential decay rate overall the available phase-space for final-state particles, we obtain aprediction for the O(α2

s ) correction to the total decay rate. Wewrite the result of our numerical integration in the following way

Γ (2) = Γ (0)(−29.98(8) + 2.143(7)N f − 0.0243Nh

), (2)

where N f = 3 denotes the number of massless quarks in the the-ory and Nh = 2 denotes the number of quarks whose mass coin-cides with the b-quark mass. Also, Γ

b/(192π3) isthe total decay rate for b → ueν̄ at leading order in perturbativeQCD. Comparing our computation to the analytic results presentedin Ref. [19], we find agreement for each term shown in Eq. (2) tobetter than five per mille.

Having reproduced the known result for the NNLO QCD correc-tions to the total rate, we can now proceed to the discussion ofkinematic distributions. Our numerical program is set up in sucha way that it can compute various kinematic distributions, bothconventional and cumulative, in a single run. To illustrate this, weshow in Fig. 1 dΓ (2)/dq2, where q2 is the invariant mass of thelepton pair. The solid curve is the result of the analytic calculationfrom Ref. [28]. The numerical and analytical results perfectly agreefor all values of q2 except in the region q2 ∼ 0 where some dis-crepancy is observed. This discrepancy is not surprising since theanalytic results of Ref. [28] were obtained as an expansion aroundq2 = m2

b so that deviations at small q2 reflect convergence prob-lems of the analytic computation in that region.

To further discuss kinematic distributions, we follow Ref. [20]and define moments of the partonic invariant mass M2

X = (pb −pe − pν)2 and energy E X = Eb − Ee − Eν , in dependence of thelower cut on the electron energy Ecut and the upper cut on thepartonic invariant mass Mcut. More specifically, we write

We note [20] that one can use Li j ’s defined in Eq. (3) to obtainmoments of the lepton invariant mass q2.

For the numerical calculation of the moments reported below,we use mb = 4.6 GeV as the value of the b-quark pole mass. Tospecify partonic cuts, we introduce the physical hadronic invariantmass

where Λ̄ = mB± − mb = 0.6769 GeV, for our choice of the b-quarkmass. We impose a cut on MH and translate it into a cut on M X

and E X using Eq. (7). Throughout the Letter, we use MH < 2.5 GeVas the cut on the hadronic invariant mass. Also, as we alreadymentioned, the BLM corrections are well known. They were dis-cussed previously in the literature (see e.g. Ref. [20]) and, for thisreason, we focus on non-BLM corrections in the remainder of thisLetter.

Our results for the moments are presented in Figs. 2, 3 and inTable 1. In Figs. 2, 3 we show cumulative histograms for the non-BLM contributions to two moments L(2)

These figures illus-trate that our numerical program works as a parton level MonteCarlo integrator and that it can reliably compute large number ofinfra-red safe observables for the b → Xueν̄ decay with variouscuts in a single run. This should be useful for further studies of

charmless decays of B-mesons given, in particular, a large numberof kinematic cuts employed in experimental analyses.1

To illustrate the dependence of the non-BLM corrections on theapplied cuts, we show the ratio of non-BLM contributions L(2) toNLO ones L(1) , as a function of the electron energy cut in lowerpanes of Figs. 2, 3. We note that this ratio is renormalization-scaleindependent. We are interested in this ratio because, if it is inde-pendent of Ecut, we could have found the corrections to the mo-ments without fully-differential NNLO computations. However, it isapparent from Figs. 2, 3 that this is not possible and that non-BLMcorrections have a different functional dependence on Ecut as com-pared to the NLO ones. In addition, the cut-dependence is stronglymoment-dependent and it is more pronounced for higher- j mo-ments.

We will now take a closer look at the numerical values of thecomputed corrections. To facilitate this, we show in Table 1 ourresults for leading, next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading or-der partonic moments Li j computed with the lepton energy cut of1 GeV and the hadronic energy cut MH < 2.5 GeV. This set of cutswas previously studied in Ref. [20].

It follows from Table 1 that similar to the total rate BLM andnon-BLM corrections have opposite size, so that the total result forNNLO corrections is smaller than the BLM corrections taken alone.The non-BLM corrections seem to be more important for lower

1 We also note that our numerical program is rather fast. For example, all numer-ical results reported in this Letter, including distributions shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 andin Table 1 were obtained in an overnight run on a modest-size computer cluster.

moments than for higher moments. Indeed, the ratio L(2)i j /L2,BLM

i jdecreases monotonically by about a factor of 1.6, from 0.1842 to0.112, for i = 0 and j changing from j = 0 to j = 3. This trendis also visible in the absolute magnitude of the corrections. Takingαs(mb) = 0.24, we find that for i = 0, j = 0, the non-BLM correc-tions increase the moment by about three percent while for i = 0,j = 3, they become as small as one percent.

While these corrections look small compared to the currentO(10%) uncertainty in the |V ub| determined from inclusive decays,we note that Ref. [43] estimates the total theoretical uncertainty on|V ub| that can be achieved with various kinematic cuts on MH , Ee ,and q2 to be close to six percent. The uncertainty in perturbativecorrections, which mainly refers to non-BLM O(α2

s ) effects that wediscuss in this Letter, is believed [43] to be responsible for 30–50%of the full theory uncertainty. Our calculation allows to removethis part of the theory uncertainty by providing explicit results fornon-BLM corrections.

For example, one of the scenarios considered in Ref. [43] is ahigh-cut on the lepton energy El > 2 GeV; it corresponds to themeasurement by the BABAR Collaboration reported in Ref. [44]. Wefind the non-BLM correction to L00(El > 2 GeV) using the cumu-lative histogram in Fig. 2 and observe that it changes the leadingorder moment L(0)

00 (El > 2 GeV) = 0.257 by 6%.2 Since the exper-imental measurement corresponds to |V ub|2L00, a 6% shift in L00due to non-BLM corrections translates into a −3% shift in V ub . Westress that the above number is given to illustrate the magnitudeof the expected effect; a precise statement about the impact ofnon-BLM corrections requires a dedicated analysis along the linesof Ref. [43]. However, it is clear that our computation should helpin removing a significant fraction of the full theory error in |V ub|as estimated in [43] for the El > 2 GeV cut.

We also note that it is customary to consider normalized mo-ments, which are defined as Cij = Li j/L00. Since both the numer-ator and the denominator in the definition of Cij receive pertur-bative corrections, we need to consistently expand Cij in a seriesin αs to establish how stable it is against radiative corrections. Wefind that in case of C0 j , the non-BLM corrections are close to one-fifth of the BLM corrections for all values of j and they change thenormalized moment by −0.5% for j = 1 and by −1.45% for j = 3.

The situation changes dramatically for partonic invariant massmoments Li j , with i �= 0. In this case the leading order partonicmoments vanish since in the b → ue−ν̄ process the partonic in-variant mass is zero. As the result, for these moments our NNLOcalculation is, essentially, next-to-leading order and the signifi-cance of non-BLM corrections increases. As follows from Table 1for Li j moments with i �= 0 and j �= 0, the non-BLM correctionscan be as large as 30%.

To conclude, we presented a computation of O(α2s ) corrections

to the fully-differential decay rate of charmless semileptonic b de-cay, b → Xueν̄ . Our calculation provides a NNLO QCD descriptionof arbitrary infra-red safe observables and allows arbitrary kine-matic cuts including those that closely match the ones employedin experimental analyses. We constructed a parton-level MonteCarlo integrator which can be used to compute large number ofrelevant observables and kinematic distributions in a single runof the program. This calculation, together with earlier results onNNLO QCD corrections to fully-differential b → clν̄ transition [45,46], makes all inclusive semileptonic decays of b-quarks upgradedto that accuracy. We hope that these results will contribute to the

reduction of the theoretical error on |V ub| and |V cb| that will beachieved in the forthcoming B-physics experiments.
