QCD Corrections to $b\to s{e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ Decay

Abstract

We give a more complete calculation of $b\to s{e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ decay including leading log QCD corrections from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$ in addition to corrections from $M_W$ to $m_b$. The differential decay rate is found to be slightly suppressed for a large invariant mass of the $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ pair; while the integrated width is slightly enhanced comparing with the results without the QCD running from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$.
