What the study found

The study finds that Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) strongly constrains the structure-dependent form factors in radiative semileptonic decays of beautiful hadrons. In the soft and sub-leading soft regions, the form factors are fully determined by non-radiative Isgur-Wise functions and the magnetic dipole moments of the heavy hadrons.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors say these predictions are relevant for future measurements at Belle II and LHCb. They conclude that the HQET constraints help organize the hadronic matrix elements for the decays they study.

What the researchers tested

The researchers derived predictions for hadronic matrix elements in radiative semileptonic decays within HQET. They considered the decays Λb → Λc, Λc1(*) and B̄ → D(*) transitions, and they also briefly discussed higher-order corrections.

What worked and what didn't

HQET symmetries were said to highly constrain the number of structure-dependent form factors in all cases considered. In the soft and sub-leading soft regions, the form factors were fully determined in terms of non-radiative Isgur-Wise functions and magnetic dipole moments. The abstract does not report any cases that failed this description.

What to keep in mind

The abstract gives only a brief discussion of higher-order corrections, so details are limited in the available summary. It also does not provide numerical results or experimental measurements, only theoretical predictions.

Key points

  • HQET strongly constrains structure-dependent form factors in radiative semileptonic decays of beautiful hadrons.
  • For soft and sub-leading soft regions, the form factors are fully determined by non-radiative Isgur-Wise functions and magnetic dipole moments.
  • The paper covers Λb → Λc, Λc1(*) and B̄ → D(*) transitions.
  • The authors say the predictions are relevant for future measurements at Belle II and LHCb.
  • Higher-order corrections are mentioned only briefly in the abstract.
