Abstract
We investigate the differences between the light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of Bs mesons and Bq mesons (with q = u, d) induced by a non-vanishing strange-quark mass ms ≠ 0 (compared to mq ≃ 0). To this end, we consider the so-called “radiative tail” which is related to the short-distance expansion of the relevant light-ray operators in heavy-quark effective theory. We extend the calculation of the according matching coefficients, including operators linear in ms for both the leading and sub-leading 2-particle LCDAs. Based on a generic parameterization for the leading LCDA, we discuss the effect on its shape on a quantitative level, and compare our findings with recent results on the inverse moments of the Bq and Bs LCDAs from QCD sum rules.
