Abstract
We have determined the decay rates for the rare decays () including quark masses. We find a coherence effect in the amplitude for these processes which is sensitive to the top-quark mass. Inclusion of a top-quark mass of GeV decreases the rate for by a factor of 2 and enhances the rate for by a factor of 3. The branching ratios are and , where the latter is a lower bound since the axial-vector contribution has yet to be computed, and is the total hadronic decay width.
