Renormalization of the ΔB=2 four-quark operators in lattice NRQCD

Abstract

We calculate perturbative renormalization constants for the ΔB=2 four-quark operators in lattice NRQCD. Continuum operators \bar{b}γ_μ(1-γ_5)q~ \bar{b}γ_μ(1-γ_5)q and \bar{b}(1-γ_5)q~\bar{b}(1-γ_5)q, which are necessary in evaluating the mass and width differences in $B^0_{d(s)}-\bar{B}^0_{d(s)}$ systems, are matched at one-loop with corresponding lattice operators constructed from the NRQCD heavy quarks and the ${\cal O}(a)$-improved light quarks. Using these perturbative coefficients, we also reanalyse our previous simulation results for the matrix elements of the above operators. Our new results are free from the systematic error of ${\cal O}(α_s/(aM_b))$ in contrast to the previous ones with matching coefficients evaluated in the static limit.
