dc.descriptionIn this paper we take the first step towards a complete next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) calculation of the inclusive decay rate for $B \to X_sγ$. We consider the virtual corrections of order $\alphas^2 n_f$ to the matrix elements of the operators ${O}_1$, ${O}_2$ and ${O}_8$ and evaluate the real and virtual contributions to ${O}_7$. These corrections are expected to be numerically important. We observe a strong cancelation between the contributions from the current-current operators and $O_7$ and obtain, after applying naive non-abelianization, a reduction of the branching ratio of 3.9% (for $μ=3.0$ GeV) and an increase of 3.4% (for $μ=9.6$ GeV).
