Determining for the first time the Darwin operator contribution for the non-leptonic charm-quark decays and using new non-perturbative results for the matrix elements of ∆C = 0 four-quark operators, including eye-contractions, we present a comprehensive study of the lifetimes of charmed mesons and inclusive semileptonic decay rates as well as the ratios, within the framework of the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE). We find good agreement with experiment for the ratio τ(D+)/τ(D0), for the total D+ s… Expand

Revisiting quark-hadron duality for heavy meson non-leptonic decays in two-dimensional QCD
We study lifetimes of heavy mesons in the ’t Hooft model, a large-Nc theory of strong interaction in two-dimensional spacetime. Since this model is solvable, one can evaluate the total decay widthsExpand
The $B_c$ lifetime in the Standard Model
• Physics
• 2021
Using an operator product expansion (OPE) approach an updated Standard Model prediction of the 2 lifetime is presented. The computation in three different mass schemes for the heavy quarks leads toExpand
Theory Motivation: What measurements are needed?
I give a theory motivation for future measurements in quark flavour physics, trying to identify observables, which are less familiar, but nevertheless interesting and promising.
