Abstract

We comment on a discrepancy in the literature concerning the decay

b \to {se}^{+} e^{-}

. An expression is presented for the total decay rate, including short-distance QCD corrections. We find that the total inclusive branching ratio is slightly enhanced by QCD, from 3.4 ×

10^{- 6}

to 4.1 ×

10^{- 6}

m_{t} = 100

GeV, for example.
