QCD factorization of the four-lepton decay $$B^-\rightarrow \ell \bar{\nu }_\ell \ell ^{(\prime )} \bar{\ell }^{(\prime )}$$ B - → ℓ ν ¯ ℓ ℓ ( ′ ) ℓ ¯ ( ′ )

Abstract Motivated by the first search for the rare charged-current B decay to four leptons, $$\ell \bar{\nu }_\ell \ell ^{(\prime )} \bar{\ell }^{(\prime )}$$ ℓ ν ¯ ℓ ℓ ( ′ ) ℓ ¯ ( ′ ) , we calculate the decay amplitude with factorization methods. We obtain the $$B\rightarrow \gamma ^*$$ B → γ ∗ fo...
