Phys. Rev. D 77, 074007 (2008) [19 pages]Decay b→(cc̅ )s in the leading logarithm approximationReceived 29 December 2007; published 9 April 2008 We consider an effective field theory for the nonleptonic decay in which a heavy quark decays into a pair of a heavy quark and antiquark having a small relative velocity and one relativistic (massless) quark. This effective theory is a combination of heavy quark effective theory (HQET), soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), and a covariant modification of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD). In the leading logarithm approximation the effective theory decay amplitude factorizes into the product of matrix elements of heavy-to-heavy and heavy-to-light currents. We discuss a possibility of factorization beyond the leading logarithm approximation and find it doubtful. The Wilson coefficients of the effective theory electroweak (EWET) Lagrangian in the next-to-leading logarithm approximation are calculated at the matching scale of the decay. The differential decay rate for the inclusive decay B→J/ψ+h in the effective theory framework is evaluated. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
