Heavy-to-Light-Quark Decays with Two-Loop Accuracy

Abstract
We present a determination of a new class of three-loop Feynman diagrams describing heavy-to-light transitions. We apply it to find the O(αs2) corrections to the top quark decay tbW and to the distribution of lepton invariant mass in the semileptonic b quark decay bulν. We also confirm the previously determined total rate of that process as well as the O(α2) corrections to the muon lifetime.
