Long Distance Contributions to B-Decays into Higher K-Resonances

Abstract

We use the new symmetries in the heavy quark limit to calculate the exclusive B-decays $B\to K^i\psi$ where $K^i$ are higher resonances of K-meson. We then estimate the long distance contributions to $B\to K^i\gamma$ decays via $\psi -\gamma$ conversion. The results point to around $30\%$ uncertainty in the top quark mass determined by measurements of rare B-decays $B\to K^i\gamma$.
