Evolution of the Light Cone Distribution Function for a Heavy Quark

Abstract

We compute the one-loop anomalous dimension for the light cone distribution function of a heavy quark and solve the corresponding evolution equation analytically. Some implications of the results for inclusive $B$ decays are discussed.
