Estimates of Long-distance Contributions to the $B_s to gamma gamma$ Decay


Abstract in English

We present first calculations of new long-distance contributions to $B_s to gamma gamma$ decay due to intermediate $D_s$ and $D_s^*$ meson states. The relevant $gamma$ vertices are estimated using charge couplings and transition moment couplings. Within our uncertainties, we find that these long-distance contributions could be comparable to the known short-distance contributions. Since they have different Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix-element factors, there may be an interesting possibility of observing CP violation in this decay.
