Projecting measurements of the interactions of the known Standard Model (SM) states into
an effective field theory (EFT) framework is an important goal of the LHC physics program …

Most inclusive rare B decays are important modes of flavor physics due to the small hadronic
uncertainties. In this article, the author gives a status report on such decays, highlighting …

We construct the Lagrangian for an effective theory of highly energetic quarks with energy Q,
interacting with collinear and soft gluons. This theory has two low energy scales, the …

The factorization of soft and ultrasoft gluons from collinear particles is shown at the level of
operators in an effective field theory. Exclusive hadronic factorization and inclusive partonic …

We critically examine the potential to disentangle the Standard Model (SM) and new physics
(NP) in B→ K* μ+ μ− and B→ K* e+ e− decays, focusing on (i) the LHCb anomaly,(ii) the …

We construct an effective field theory valid for processes in which highly energetic light-like
particles interact with collinear and soft degrees of freedom, using the decay B→ X s γ near …

The first observation of the suppressed semileptonic B s 0→ K− μ+ ν μ decay is reported.
Using a data sample recorded in pp collisions in 2012 with the LHCb detector …

We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-
meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates …

We consider processes which produce final state hadrons whose energy is much greater
than their mass. In this limit interactions involving collinear fermions and gluons are …

In the heavy-quark limit, the hadronic matrix elements entering nonleptonic B-meson decays
into two light mesons can be calculated from first principles including “nonfactorizable” …
