Calculation of Feynman diagrams with zero mass threshold from their small momentum expansion

A method of calculating Feynman diagrams from their small momentum expansion [1] is extended to diagrams with zero mass thresholds. We start from the asymptotic expansion in large masses [2] (applied to the case when all $M_i^2$ are large compared to all momenta squared). Using dimensional regularization, a finite result is obtained in terms of powers of logarithms (describing the zero-threshold singularity) times power series in the momentum squared. Surprisingly, these latter ones represent functions, which not only have the expected physical `second threshold' but have a branchcut singularity as well below threshold at a mirror position. These can be understood as pseudothresholds corresponding to solutions of the Landau equations. In the spacelike region the imaginary parts from the various contributions cancel. For the two-loop examples with one mass $M$, in the timelike region for $q^2 \approx M^2$ we obtain approximations of high precision. This will be of relevance in particular for the calculation of the decay $Z \to b\bar{b}$ in the $m_b=0$ approximation.Comment: 17 pages with figures and tables, PostScript file gzip'ed and uuencode

Sophisticated momenta mapping with DIANA

Details of recent developments of the Feynman diagram analyzer DIANA (DIagram ANAlyser) are presented. Apart from some discussion about QGRAF and new plotting features, we concentrate on a new sophisticated mechanism of momenta mapping.Comment: 4 pages, 4 Encapsulated postscript figures, LaTeX2e, uses espcrc2.sty (included).

Parallel Computation of Feynman diagrams with DIANA

Co-operation of the Feynman DIagram ANAlyzer (DIANA) with the underlying operational system (UNIX) is presented. We discuss operators to run external commands and a recent development of parallel processing facilities and an extension in the spirit of a component model.Comment: 23 pages, Latex using psfig, epsf and alltt, 3 figure

Exploring CP Violation through B Decays

The B-meson system provides many strategies to perform stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of CP violation. In this brief review, we discuss implications of the currently available B-factory data on the angles alpha, beta and gamma of the unitarity triangle, emphasize the importance of Bs studies at hadronic B experiments, and discuss new, theoretically clean strategies to determine gamma.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures, invited brief review for Modern Physics Letters

B -> pi pi, New Physics in B -> pi K and Implications for Rare K and B Decays

The measured B -> pi pi, pi K branching ratios exhibit puzzling patterns. We point out that the B -> pi pi hierarchy can be nicely accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through non-factorizable hadronic interference effects, whereas the B -> pi K system may indicate new physics (NP) in the electroweak (EW) penguin sector. Using the B -> pi pi data and the SU(3) flavour symmetry, we may fix the hadronic B -> pi K parameters, which allows us to show that any currently observed feature of the B -> pi K system can be easily explained through enhanced EW penguins with a large CP-violating NP phase. Restricting ourselves to a specific scenario, where NP enters only through Z^0 penguins, we derive links to rare K and B decays, where an enhancement of the K_L-> pi^0 nu nu_bar rate by one order of magnitude, with BR(K_L -> pi^0 nu nu_bar) > BR(K^+ -> pi^+ nu nu_bar), BR(K_L -> pi^0 e^+ e^-)=O(10^{-10}), (\sin2\beta)_{pi nu nu_bar} K* mu^+ mu^-, are the most spectacular effects. We address also other rare K and B decays, epsilon'/epsilon and B_d -> phi K_S.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, reference added and a few typos correced, to appear in Physical Review Letter

A Feynman Diagram Analyser DIANA

A C-program DIANA (DIagram ANAlyser) for the automatic Feynman diagram evaluation is presented. It consists of two parts: the analyzer of diagrams and the interpreter of a special text manipulating language. This language is used to create a source code for analytical or numerical evaluations and to keep the control of the process in general.Comment: 20 pages, latex, 3 eps figure
