Understanding the nature of and through nonleptonic B Decays
We consider the nonleptonic B decays and , involving the newly discovered and the
states. We find that experiments indicate disagreement with model
calculations of their properties and/or breakdown of the factorization
assumption for these decays . We point out that decays involving mesons
where the resonances can be produced via the weak decay of the quark
can provide further information about the nature of these newly discovered
states. We also propose a model to calculate the two body nonleptonic decays , if the and are
interpreted as and molecules.Comment: 14 pages LaTeX; additional reference, notational corrections and

Triangle singularities in and
We study the appearance of structures in the decay of the into and final states by forming
invariant mass distributions of and pairs,
respectively. The structure in the distribution is associated to the
kinematical triangle singularity that appears when the () decay process is followed by the decay
of the into and the subsequent rescattering of the () pair forming the ()
resonance. We find this type of non-resonant peaks at 2850 MeV in the invariant
mass of pairs from decays and
around 3000 MeV in the invariant mass of pairs from decays. By employing the measured branching ratios of
the and decays, we
predict the branching ratios for the processes into and , in the vicinity of the
triangle singularity peak, to be about and ,
respectively. The observation of this reaction would also give extra support to
the molecular picture of the and .Comment: 18 pages, 15 figures, accepted version for publication in Eur. Phys.

Radiative transitions of and
We study radiative decays of and using
light-cone QCD sum rules. In particular, we consider the decay modes
and and evaluate the hadronic parameters in the transition
amplitudes analyzing correlation functions of scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and
axial-vector quark currents. In the case of
we also consider determinations based on two different correlation functions in
HQET. The decay widths turn out to be different than previous estimates
obtained by other methods; the results favour the interpretation of
and as ordinary mesons.Comment: RevTex, 23 pages, 9 eps figure
Strong decays of and
With the identification of () as the (,
) doublet in the heavy quark effective field theory, we derive the light
cone QCD sum rule for the coupling of eta meson with and
. Through mixing we calculate their pionic
decay widths, which are consistent with the experimental values (or upper
limits). Combining the radiative decay widths derived by Colangelo, Fazio and
Ozpineci in the same framework, we conclude that the decay patterns of
strongly support their interpretation as ordinary mesons.Comment: Comments and suggestions welcome
