摘要

The operators of b -> s gamma, b -> sl(+)l(-) are usually regarded as being sufficient to describe b -> s gamma gamma, b -> sl(+)l(-)gamma with the statement that contributions from diagrams without an effective vertex b -> s gamma to processes b -> s gamma gamma and b -> sl(+)l(-)gamma are negligible. In this work we present a comprehensive analysis of the transition b -> s gamma gamma and find that 1) Effects due to off-shell quarks in vertex b -> s gamma on b -> s gamma gamma are large; 2) Contributions from diagrams without an effective vertex b -> s gamma to b -> s gamma gamma are not negligible compared with others; 3) These effects cancel each other out exactly, so the operators of b -> s gamma can safely be used to describe b -> s gamma gamma.
