L. Reina et al., QCD CORRECTIONS TO B-]S-GAMMA-GAMMA INDUCED DECAYS - B-]X-S-GAMMA-GAMMA AND B-S-]GAMMA-GAMMA, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 56(9), 1997, pp. 5805-5815
We present a complete calculation of the leading-order QCD corrections
to the quark level decay amplitude for b-->s gamma gamma and study th
eir relevance for both the inclusive branching ratio B(B-->X-s gamma g
amma) and for the exclusive decay channel B-s-->gamma gamma. In additi
on to the uncertainties in the short distance calculation, due to the
choice of the renormalization scale, an appreciable uncertainty in bot
h B-s-->gamma gamma and B-->X-s gamma gamma is introduced by the matri
x element calculation. We also briefly discuss some long distance effe
cts, especially those due to the eta(c) resonance for the inclusive ra
te. Finally, a brief analysis of the IR singularities of the two photo
n spectrum in the inclusive case is given.
