Abstract
The B→γℓνℓ decay at large energies of the photon receives a numerically important soft-overlap contribution which is formally of the next-to-leading order in the expansion in the inverse photon energy. We point out that this contribution can be calculated within the framework of heavy-quark expansion and soft-collinear effective theory, making use of dispersion relations and quark–hadron duality. The soft-overlap contribution is obtained in a full analogy with the similar contribution to the γ⁎γ→π transition form factor. This result strengthens the case for using the B→γℓνℓ decay to constrain the B-meson distribution amplitude and determine its most important parameter, the inverse moment λB.
