Abstract
In the paper, we study the transition form factors by using the light-cone sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective field theory. We adopt a chiral current correlation function to do the calculation, the resultant transition form factors and are dominated by the contribution of -meson leading-twist distribution amplitude, while the contributions from less certain -meson twist-3 distribution amplitudes are greatly suppressed. At the largest recoil point, we obtain . By further extrapolating the transition form factors into all the physically allowable region with the help of the -series parametrization approach, we calculate the branching fractions with and , which gives .
I Introduction
It is one of the most attractive research topics in the field of high energy physics to accurately test the standard model (SM) and to search new physics effects beyond the SM. The semileptonic decay provides such an example. The ratio with () has been measured by various groups, e.g. the BaBar Collaboration firstly reported and BaBar:2012obs ; BaBar:2013mob , the BELLE Collaboration subsequently given and in year 2015 Belle:2015qfa , in year 2016 Belle:2016dyj ; Belle:2017ilt , and and in year 2019 Belle:2019rba , and the LHCb Collaboration reported in year 2015 LHCb:2015gmp and in year 2017 LHCb:2017smo ; LHCb:2017rln . The Heavy Flavor Average Group (HFLAG) gave the weighted average of those measurements, i.e. and HFLAV:2019otj , where they also gave the averages of theoretical predictions and from Refs. Bigi:2016mdz ; Bordone:2019vic ; Gambino:2019sif . Those theoretical values are consistent with other predictions calculated using various approaches, such as the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) Fajfer:2012vx ; Tanaka:2010se , the lattice QCD (LQCD) MILC:2015uhg ; Na:2015kha ; Aoki:2016frl , the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) Wang:2017jow ; Zhong:2018exo . Since the theoretical predictions are generally smaller than the measured ones, this difference may indicate new physics beyond the SM Celis:2012dk ; Celis:2013jha ; Li:2016vvp ; Li:2018lxi .
The LHCb collaboration has measured the branching fraction LHCb:2020cyw and gave the ratio of the branching fractions and , i.e., . This indicates could behave closely to . Therefore, it is meaningful to make a detailed study on the similar ratio .
At present, there is still no published data on the ratio , while many theoretical studies on it have been done in Refs.Fan:2013kqa ; Hu:2019bdf ; Bhol:2014jta ; Faustov:2012mt ; Monahan:2017uby ; Monahan:2018lzv ; Dutta:2018jxz ; McLean:2019qcx ; Soni:2021fky . As the key components of calculating the ratio , the transition form factors (TFFs) and have been studied under various approaches, e.g. the QCD sum rules (QCDSR) Blasi:1993fi , the constituent quark model (CQM) Zhao:2006at , the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) Li:2009wq , the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) Chen:2011ut , and the lattice QCD (LQCD) Monahan:2017uby ; Monahan:2018lzv ; Dutta:2018jxz ; McLean:2019qcx . Different approaches are applicable in various energy scale regions, for example, the LCSR is applicable in the largest low and intermediate -region; and in the present paper, as the same as the previous treatment of TFFs Zhou:2019jny , we will adopt the LCSR approach within the framework of heavy quark effective field theory (HQEFT) Wu:1992zw ; Wang:1999zd ; Yan:1999kt ; Wu:2000jq ; Wang:2000sc ; Wang:2000gs to calculate TFFs. The HQEFT separates the non-perturbative long-distance terms from the short-distance dynamics via a systematic way, and the long-distance terms can be decreased to a series over the non-perturbative wave functions or transition form factors. It has been pointed out that by choosing a proper chiral correlator, as will be adopted in this paper, one can suppress the uncertainties from the high-twist LCDAs and achieve a more accurate LCSR prediction of the TFFs.
The remaining parts of the paper are organized as follows. In Sec. II, we present the calculation technologies for the two TFFs of the semileptonic decays by using the light-cone sum rules within the framework of HQEFT. In Sec. III, we present our numerical results and discussions. Sec. IV is reserved for a summary.

II.2 Light-Cone Sum Rule For
To derive the sum rules of the two leading order heavy flavor-spin independent coefficient functions and , we construct the following correlator:

Following the standard procedure of LCSR approach, we first deal with the hadronic representation for the correlation function. One can insert a complete series of the intermediate hadronic states in the correlator (15) in the physical -region and isolate the pole term of the lowest pseudoscalar state from the hadronic representation. Then the correlator becomes:

(11) |
In the effective theory of heavy quark, the hadronic representation (11) can be expanded in powers of . Taking the transition matrix element (3) into consideration and neglecting the contributions from higher order, we can further write the hadronic representation as:

On the other hand, we apply the operator product expansion (OPE) to the correlator in the deep Euclidean region. The correlator (15) can be explicitly written as
(15) | |||||
Using the -meson heavy-quark propagator Wang:2001mi , the correlator can be expanded as a complex power series over the -meson LCDAs. Due to the chiral suppressions, it is noted that the main contribution to the correlator comes from the leading-twist LCDA, and the contributions from all the twist-3 LCDAs are exactly zero.
Through the dispersion relation, the OPE in deep Euclidean region and the hadron expression in physical region can be matched. And by further applying the Borel transformation to suppress the contributions from power-suppressed terems, the LCSRs for the coefficient functions and are

Since the contributions from the twist-4 LCDAs are only several percent, so we shall directly adopt the light pseudo-scale ones to do the calculations, whose explicit forms can be found in Refs.Ball:1998je . Substituting them into Eqs.(2,5), we obtain

The Borel parameter and the continuum threshold shall be fixed such that the resulting TFFs do not depend too much on the precise values of those parameters. In addition, the continuum contribution, which is the part of the dispersive integral from to that is subtracted from both sides of the equation, should not be too large.

Figure 1 shows the behavior of the -meson leading-twist LCDA with the typical values exhibited in Table 1, where the solid line is the central value and the shaded band shows its uncertainty given in Table 1.
III.2 The TFFs


Next, we calculate the TFFs and by using the LCSRs (18) and (19) in the -region when the LCSR approach is applicable, i.e., . For the purpose, we first determine the continuum threshold and the Borel parameter . Within the framework of HQEFT, the continuum threshold with being the -meson first excited state Wang:2001mi , and we take . To determine the Borel window, as suggested in Refs.Wang:2001mi ; Wang:2002zba , we require the TFFs to be as stable as possible within corresponding Borel windows. Figure 2 shows the TFFs versus the Borel parameter at several typical squared momenta transfer, in which the solid, the dashed, the dot-dashed and the dotted lines are for , respectively. One can find that, the TFFs are stable for a large , e.g. the uncertainty caused by is less than when for all those values. Therefore, we take the Borel window as .

IV summary
In the present paper, we make a detailed study on the TFFs of the semileptonic decay under the LCSR approach within the framework of HQEFT. By using the chiral correlator, the TFFs are dominated by the leading-twist contributions and the accuracy of the LCSR prediction is improved. At the maximum recoil point, we have . After applying the -series extrapolation, we obtain the TFFs in the whole physical -region. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the extrapolated TFFs and the differential decay widths of , respectively. Furthermore, we derive the branching fractions and . The resultant ratio agrees well with the previous prediction under a combined approach of pQCD+LQCD Hu:2019bdf . This could be treated as a good example of showing the consistency of the TFFs under various approaches Huang:2004hw . Analyzing the data in Tab. 5, we can find that the predictions of through various methods are not in good agreement with each other, which needs more reasonable and accurate research in the future. At the same time, we also look forward to the experimental measurements of , so as to test the theoretical prediction for in the framework of SM.
