Abstract
We compute the contributions of dimension six two-quark operators to the non-leptonic decay width of heavy hadrons due to the flavor changing bottom-to-up-quark transition in the heavy quark expansion. Analytical expressions for the Darwin term ρD and the spin-orbit term ρLS are obtained with leading order accuracy.
