Precision B Lifetimes Motivation C. Tarantino, hep-ph/0310241 THEORY (NLO) EXPERIMENT • b-hadron decays dominated by b-quark • Light quarks are included with 1/mb perturbative expansions (HQE) • expect small differences between lifetimes of different species • lifetime ratios reduce theory uncertainties J.
