#include <MVgamma.h>
A class for the \(M \to V \gamma\) decay.
This class is used to compute all the functions needed in order to compute the observables relative to the \(M \to V \gamma\) decays, where \(M\) is a generic meson and \(V\) is a vector meson.
The mandatory parameters of MVll are summarized below:
| Label | LaTeX symbol | Description | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| a_0T1 | \(a_0^{T_1}\) | The fit parameters for the form factor \(T_1\) of the \(B\to K^*\) at \(q^2=0\). | |||
| a_0T1phi | \(a_0^{T_1}\) | The fit parameters for the form factor \(T_1\) of the \(B\to\phi\) at \(q^2=0\). | absh_p | \(\mathrm{Abs}h_+^{(0)}\) | The constant term of the absolute value of the hadronic parameter \(h_+\) of the \(B\to K^*\) at \(q^2=0\). |
| argh_p | \(\mathrm{Arg}h_+^{(0)}\) | The constant term of the argument of the hadronic parameter \(h_+\) of the \(B\to K^*\) at \(q^2=0\). | |||

| argh_m | \(\mathrm{Arg}h_-^{(0)}\) | The constant term of the argument of the hadronic parameter \(h_-\) of the \(B\to K^*\) at \(q^2=0\). |
This kind of decays can be described by means of the \(\Delta B = 1 \) weak effective Hamiltonian
\[ \mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^{\Delta B = 1} = \mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{had} + \mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{\gamma}, \]
where the first term is the hadronic contribution
\[ \mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{had} = \frac{4G_F}{\sqrt{2}}\Bigg[\sum_{p=u,c}\lambda_p\bigg(C_1 Q^{p}_1 + C_2 Q^{p}_2\bigg) -\lambda_t \bigg(\sum_{i=3}^{6} C_i P_i + C_{8}Q_{8g} \bigg)\Bigg] \,, \]
involving current-current, chromodynamic penguin and chromomagnetic dipole operators, while the second one, given by
\[ \mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{\gamma} = - \frac{4G_F}{\sqrt{2}}\lambda_t C_7Q_{7\gamma} \,, \]
includes the electromagnetic penguin operator.
Considering the matrix element of \(\mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^{\Delta B = 1}\) between the initial state \(M\) and the final state \(V \gamma\), only the contribution of \(\mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{\gamma}\) clearly factorizes into the product of hadronic form factors and leptonic tensors at all orders in strong interactions. Following [144], we implemented the amplitude in the helicity basis; hence we made use of the helicity form factor \( T_-(0)\), which is related to the ones in the transverse basis through the following relation:
\[ T_{-}\left( q^{2}\right) = \frac{m_M^2 - m_V^2}{m_M^2}T_1\left( q^{2}\right)\,. \]
The effect of the operators of \(\mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{had}\) due to exchange of soft gluon can be reabsorbed in the following parameterization,
\[ h_\lambda(q^2) = \frac{\epsilon^*_\mu(\lambda)}{m_M^2} \int d^4x e^{iqx} \langle \bar V \vert T\{j^{\mu}_\mathrm{em} (x) \mathcal{H}_\mathrm{eff}^\mathrm{had} (0)\} \vert \bar M \rangle = h_\lambda^{(0)}\,, \]
while the effect due to exchange of hard gluons can be parametrized following the prescription of [49] as a shift to the Wilson coefficient \(C_7\) :
\[ \Delta C_{7} = \frac{\alpha_s(\mu) C_F}{4\pi} \left( C_1(\mu) G_1(s_p)+ C_8(\mu) G_8\right) + \frac{\alpha_s(\mu_h) C_F}{4\pi} \left( C_1(\mu_h) H_1(s_p)+ C_8(\mu_h) H_8\right)\,, \]
where the terms proportional to \(G_i\) are the ones describing the corrections where the spectator quark is connected to the hard process only through soft interactions, while the ones proportional to \(H_i\) (involving leading twist light-cone distributions) are the ones describing the corrections where the spectactor quark is involved in the hard process, and \(s=\frac{m_c^2}{m_b^2}\).
The amplitude can be therefore parametrized in terms of the following helicity amplitudes:
\[ H_V^+ = \lambda_t \Big[- C_{7}' {T}_{-} - \frac{m_M}{m_b} 8 \pi^2 h_\lambda \Big] \,, \\ H_V^- = \lambda_t \Big[ C_{7} T_{-} - \frac{m_M}{m_b} 8 \pi^2 h_\lambda \Big] \,. \]
Squaring the amplitude and summing over the spins it is possible to obtain the Branching Ratio, which is
\[ BR = \frac {\alpha_e G_F^2 M_b^2 M_M \lambda}{(4\pi)^2 4 w_M} ( |H_V^+|^2 + |H_A^+|^2 +|\overline{H}_V^-|^2 + |\overline{H}_A^-|^2) \,. \]
The class is build as follows: after the parameters are updated in updateParameters() and the form factor \( T_1 \) is computed in T_1() following [48], the QCDF corrections to the Wilson coefficient \( C_7 \) is computed in the functions G1(), G8(), H1() and H8(). The helicity amplitudes \(H_V^{(+,-)},\overline{H}_V^{(+,-)}\) are build in H_V_p(), H_V_m(), H_V_p_bar() and H_V_m_bar(), in order to be further used to compute the observables.
