Non-leptonic B decays into two light mesons in soft-collinear effective theory Original Research Article

We consider non-leptonic B decays into two light mesons at leading order in soft-collinear effective theory, and show that the decay amplitudes are factorized at next-to-leading order in αs. The operators for non-leptonic B decays in the full theory are first matched to the operators in SCETI, which is the effective theory appropriate for mbΛ<μ
