Charmless Final State Interaction in B-> pi pi decays
We estimate effects of the final state interactions in B -> pi pi decays
coming from rescattering of pi pi via exchange of rho, sigma, f_0 mesons. Then
we include the rho rho rescattering via exchange of pi, omega, a_1 mesons and
finally we consider contributions of the a_1 pi rescattering via exchange of
rho. The absorptive parts of amplitudes for these processes are determined. In
the case of pi^+ pi^- decay mode, due to model uncertainties, the calculated
contribution is |M_A| =< 1.7 x 10^-8 GeV. This produces a small relative strong
phase for the tree and color-suppressed B -> pi pi amplitudes consistent with
the result of a recent phenomenological analysis based on the BaBar and Belle
results for the B -> pi pi branching ratios and CP asymmetries.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Non-factorizable contributions to
It is pointed out that decays of the type have no
factorizable contributions, unless at least one of the charmed mesons in the
final state is a vector meson. The dominant contributions to the decay
amplitudes arise from chiral loop contributions and tree level amplitudes
generated by soft gluon emissions forming a gluon condensate. We predict that
the branching ratios for the processes ,
and are all of
order , while has a
branching ratio 5 to 10 times bigger. We emphasize that the branching ratios
are sensitive to corrections.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Based on talk by J.O. Eeg at BEACH 2004, 6th

Color suppressed contributions to the decay modes B_{d,s} -> D_{s,d} D_{s,d}, B_{d,s} -> D_{s,d} D^*_{s,d}, and B_{d,s} -> D^*_{s,d} D^*_{s,d}
The amplitudes for decays of the type , have no
factorizable contributions, while , and have relatively small factorizable contributions
through the annihilation mechanism. The dominant contributions to the decay
amplitudes arise from chiral loop contributions and tree level amplitudes which
can be obtained in terms of soft gluon emissions forming a gluon condensate. We
predict that the branching ratios for the processes ,
and are all
of order , while ,
and are of
order . We obtain branching ratios for two 's in
the final state of order two times bigger.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure
Final State Interactions in the Ds+ --> omega pi+ and Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ Decays
We investigate the decay mechanisms in the Ds+ --> omega pi+ and Ds+ --> rho0
pi+ transitions. The naive factorization ansatz predicts vanishing amplitude
for the Ds+ --> omega pi+ decay, while the Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ decay amplitude
does have an annihilation contribution also in this limit. Both decays can
proceed through intermediate states of hidden strangeness, e.g. K, K*, which we
estimate in this paper. These contributions can explain the experimental value
for the Ds+ --> omega pi+ decay rate, which no longer can be viewed as a clean
signature of the annihilation decay of Ds+. The combination of the \pi(1300)
pole dominated annihilation contribution and the internal K, K* exchange can
saturate present experimental upper bound on Ds+ --> rho0 pi+ decay rate, which
is therefore expected to be within the experimental reach. Finally, the
proposed mechanism of hidden strangeness FSI constitutes only a small
correction to the Cabibbo allowed decay rates Ds--> K K*, phi pi, which are
well described already in the factorization approximation.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
The B^- -> phi phi K^- decay rate with phi phi invariant mass below charm treshold
We investigate the decay mechanism in the B^- -> phi phi K^- decay with the
phi phi invariant mass below the charm threshold and in the neighborhood of the
eta_c invariant mass region. Our approach is based on the use of factorization
model and the knowledge of matrix elements of the weak currents. For the B
meson weak transition we apply form factor formalism, while for the light
mesons we use effective weak and strong Lagrangians. We find that the dominant
contributions to the branching ratio come from the eta, eta' and eta(1490) pole
terms of the penguin operators in the decay chains B^- -> eta (eta', eta(1490))
K^- -> phi phi K^-. Our prediction for the branching ratio is in agreement with
the Belle's result.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, 2 table
