Abstract

We compute next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the CP asymmetry a _fs=Im(Γ₁₂/M₁₂) in flavour-specific B _d,s decays such as B_d → Xℓv̄ _ℓ or Bs → D_s^-π⁺. The corrections reduce the uncertainties associated with the choice of the renormalization scheme for the quark masses significantly. In the Standard Model we predict a_fs^d=-(5.0±1.1) × 10 ^-4. As a by-product we also obtain the width difference in the Bd system at next-to-leading order in QCD.
