Abstract

We present the results of a numerical calculation of the B → K*γ form factors. The results have been obtained by studying the relevant correlation functions at β = 6.0, on an 183 × 64 lattice, using the O(a)-improved fermion action, in the quenched approximation. From the study of the matrix element 〈K*|s̄σμvb|B〉 we have obtained the form factor T1 (0) which controls the exclusive decay rate. The results are compared with the recent results from CLEO. We also discuss the compatibility between the scaling laws predicted by the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) and pole dominance, by studying the mass- and q2-dependence of the form factors. From our analysis, it appears that the form factors follow a mass behaviour compatible with the predictions of the HQET and that the q2-dependence of T2 is weaker than would be predicted by pole dominance.
