Inclusive Charmless Non-Leptonic B Decays at NLO within and beyond the Standard Model

We calculate the full set of BSM contributions to the inclusive non-leptonic $B$-meson lifetime from charmless final states within the framework of the Weak Effective Theory up to next-to-leading order in QCD and to leading power in the heavy-quark expansion. We do so by computing cut diagrams and the corresponding phase space integrals. This involves calculating current-current, penguin-penguin, penguin-dipole and dipole-dipole diagrams with two-, three- and four-particle cuts. We describe the technical difficulties of the computation. We then discuss how our results can be used to constrain new physics scenarios related to the anomalies observed in semi-leptonic and charmless non-leptonic decays.
