TL;DR Summary
How to calculate/estimate partial decay width of a decay when gluons decaying to a quark-antiquark pair are involved?
How do we normally calculate the partial width Γi for a decay involving gluons.Consider the following example:

feynmareal.png

in the first example, I know that one can estimate the partial width Γ1 using CKM matrix elements to get "Γ1 is directly proportional to V2cb V2cs
."Now, for the second diagram it is essentially the same but with an additive gluon going to ss¯¯¯

. Ofcourse, the partial width now changes to look like:
"Γ2 is directly proportional to V2cb V2cd
."BUT,this doesn't tell anything on how the gluon changes things. So what I want to know is, how exactly does the ss¯¯¯

pair changing the Γ2
!!!????If there are any sources/articles for this, it would be really helpful as I haven't found much regarding these 3 body decays!

What are you looking for exactly? Someone to calculate the matrix element for you?
 
Have you even read the whole thing?
I know how to calculate the CKM matrix element, I am asking how to consider the gluon to ssbar contribution in decay width!

In am not your servant. Don't treat me like one.

You put a propagator in for the gluon, and T matrices at each colored vertex.
 
Thank You!
Sorry for that, I was just a bit frustrated.
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
