Two-Loop Radiative Jet Function for Exclusive $B$-Meson and Higgs Decays


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The rare radiative $B$-meson decay $B^-togammaell^-bar u$ and the radiative Higgs-boson decay $htogammagamma$ mediated by light-quark loops both receive large logarithmic corrections in QCD, which can be resummed using factorization theorems derived in soft-collinear effective theory. In these factorization theorems the same radiative jet function appears, which is a central object in the study of factorization beyond the leading order in scale ratios. We calculate this function at two-loop order both in momentum space and in a dual space, where its renormalization-group evolution takes on a simpler form. We also derive the two-loop anomalous dimension of the jet function and present the exact solution to its evolution equation at two-loop order. Another important outcome of our analysis is the explicit form of the two-loop anomalous dimension of the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude in momentum space.
