Abstract

We estimate ?G_d/G_d, including 1/m_b contributions and part of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections. We find that adding the latter corrections decreases the value of ?G_d/G_d computed at the leading order by a factor of almost 2. We also show that under certain conditions an upper bound on the value of ?G_d/G_d in the presence of new physics can be derived. With the high statistics and accurate time resolution of the upcoming LHC experiment, the measurement of ?G_d seems to be possible. This measurement would be important for an accurate measurement of sin(2ß) at the LHC. In addition, we point out the possibility that the measurement of width difference leads to a clear signal for new physics.
