Phenomenological study of heavy hadron lifetimes

Abstract The lifetimes of bottom and charmed hadrons are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from the spectator effects such as weak W-annihilation and Pauli interference. Spectator effects originating from dimension-7 four-quark operators are...
