Shedding new light on weak annihilation B-meson decays

چکیده
We identify a novel leading-power contribution to the pure weak annihilation non-leptonic B-meson decay amplitudes, which arises from hard-collinear gluon exchange between light quark of bottom meson and final-state active partons. This interesting observation is naturally expected shed new on deciphering rapidity divergences in convolution integrals soft-collinear factorization formulae. Subsequently we explore an intriguing enhancement mechanism due penguin contractions current-current operators effective Hamiltonian, yields significant impacts CP violating observables.

On Radiative Weak Annihilation Decays
We discuss a little-studied class of weak decay modes sensitive to only one quark topology at leading order in GF : M → mγ, where M,m are mesons with completely distinct flavor quantum numbers. Specifically, they proceed via the annihilation of the valence quarks through a W and the emission of a single hard photon, and thus provide a clear separation between CKM and strong interaction physics....
متن کاملRadiative Weak Annihilation Decays
A class of meson decay modes sensitive to only one quark topology at leading GF order (annihilation of valence quarks through a W ) is described. No experimental observations, nor even upper limits, have been reported for these decays. This work presents a simpleminded (order-of-magnitude) calculation of their branching fractions, and compares to results of previous calculations where available...
متن کاملAnnihilation, Rescattering, and Cp Asymmetries in B Meson Decays
A number of B meson decays may proceed only through participation of the spectator quark, whether through amplitudes proportional to fB/mB or via rescattering from other less-suppressed amplitudes. An expected hierarchy of amplitudes in the absence of rescattering will be violated by rescattering corrections. Such violations could point the way toward channels in which final-state interactions ...
متن کاملNew Physics Effects from B Meson Decays
In this talk, we point out some of the present and future possible signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model from B-meson decays, taking R-parity conserving and violating supersymmetry as illustrative examples.
متن کامل"Nonfactorizable" terms in hadronic B-meson weak decays.
The branching ratios for the hadronic B-meson weak decays B → J/ψK and B → Dπ are used to extract the size of the “non-factorizable” terms in the decay amplitudes. It is pointed out that the solutions are not uniquely determined. In the B → J/ψK case, a 2-fold ambiguity can be removed by analyzing the contribution of this decay to B → Kl+l−. In the B → Dπ case, a 4-fold ambiguity can only be re...
