We perform a calculation of the strong interaction effects between the B and D mesons in the reaction, as a crossing process of reactions with BD in the final state, where the strong interaction between the mesons leads to a bound BD state. We find corrections to the tree level amplitude of the order of 15–25
. We further see the effect of the corrections studied in the
ratio for the rates of
and
decays and find corrections of the order of
. Given the claims of
precision in this ratio from fits to data within the standard model, any theoretical model aiming at describing this ratio within the same precision must take into account the corrections described in the present work.
