A QCD ``Manifesto'' on Inclusive Decays of Beauty and Charm

I. I. Bigi, B. Blok, M. Shifman, N. G. Uraltsev, A. Vainshtein

Abstract

A selfconsistent treatment of nonperturbative effects in inclusive nonleptonic and semileptonic decays of beauty and charm hadrons is presented. It is illustrated by calculating semileptonic branching ratios, lifetime ratios, radiative decay rates and the lepton spectra in semileptonic decays.
