Unraveling Soft Components in the Shape Function for Inclusive B Decays

Abstract

We present a systematic study of the shape function for inclusive B-meson decays in the heavy-quark limit, which is based on the QCD equations of motion and heavy-quark symmetry, and takes into account the cusp divergence due to radiative corrections.
