Multiplicity Distributions in B ! S Gluon Decays

The nal states for the process b ! s have been extensively discussed in the literature. Similarly-detailed analyses for the case b ! s gluon have not been performed. Generally this process is searched for in 2-body decays such as B 0 ! K +. We present simple arguments to suggest that most of the time the quark-level process will give rise to nal states with rather high multiplicities. Comments are made about the applicability of these results to b ! d gluon and hadronic b ! u decays.
