Question: Use the method of dimensions to show that if W-exchange is approximated by a zero-range interaction and the masses of all final-state particles are neglected.
Use the method of dimensions to show that

if W-exchange is approximated by a zero-range interaction and the masses of all final-state particles are neglected. If quark mass corrections are taken into account, this result is modified to

Where
f(x) = 1 8x2 24x4 ln(x) + 8x6 x8.
Use this, together with the constituent quark masses of Table 3.1 and the experimental result
Î(b c + e + Î½Ì e) + Î(b u + e + vÌ e) = (6.6 ± 0.3) à 1010 s 1,
deduced from the decay B e + Î½Ì e + hadrons, to obtain upper bounds on the magnitudes of Vub and Vcb.
