Factorization in exclusive semileptonic radiative B decays

Abstract

We derive a new factorization relation for the semileptonic radiative decay B-->pi[script-l]nugamma in the kinematical region of a slow pion |p-->pi|~Lambda and an energetic photon Egamma>>Lambda, working at leading order in Lambda/mb. In the limit of a soft pion, the nonperturbative matrix element appearing in this relation can be computed using chiral perturbation theory. We present a phenomenological study of this decay, which may be important for a precise determination of the exclusive nonradiative decay.
