Abstract: (APS)
The branching ratio for B→K*γ is calculated as a function of the top-quark mass. We include QCD enhancement effects in the short-distance operators and the hadronic matrix elements are determined by use of the constituent-quark model. The branching ratio is in the accessible range of ∼10−4.
